Yeah, they are basically a fortnightly magazine now. Subscriptions and on line purchases may account for more sales than those that are actually sold at the match.I just wish they'd go back to being smaller and cheaper. Stopped buying them when they became like Argos catalogues.
Programme collecting used to be a hugely popular hobby. Now, (provided you have the money) you can easily collect them all.
Early programmes were, and still are collectable because Initially the only way to obtain a programme was to actually attend the match.
