Spot on Kipax. It looked like a proper programme for the first time in years. Much improved!
KIPAX said:I thought that was the best for many a season. Everything looks so much better glossy. Few things to iron out yet but deffo on the up for a change

Re: Cambridge Program
I agree the Programme was excellent this week. everything about it from the paper, printing, content and cutting and trimming was spot on and well worth the money. I understand that it was a special with limited print run of around 350. So collectors beware we can expect this edition to be a rarity within a short time. One is already available on eBay if anyone missed out and would like one.

Re: Cambridge Program
A fortune no, a little profit in a few years time maybe. But I won’t be selling………Stanley has had a long troubled history with lots of hopes and shattered dreams.
People must remember that this is an unfinished story and history is still being written and will continue to be. This year many people will cry uncontrollably when a long held dream is realised, it will happen you believe it and I’ll be one of them. That as no value in monetary terms because it’s beyond what anyone can afford, its pure emotion…..
The front page of this weeks Observer carried a story of a programme that when written was worth no more than its cover price, it sold for £312.29. The programme as you will no doubt know was the last away game to Crewe in March 1962. Why? And why aren’t more of you looking to secure your piece of what is your own history?

Re: Cambridge Program [sic]
Well, of course I'm pleased for for those forum members who bought Saturday's programme.
However, I'm very sympathetic with those who were unable to obtain one as a result of this significant shortfall - particularly our guests from Cambridge who seem to have been treated in a rather cavalier fashion; I was told by several of them after the match that not one of them had been able to acquire said programme. They intend to contact the Club Office first thing on Monday.
Football is supposed to be a classless game where the dustman might rub shoulders with the duke. It emphatically is not (at least at Conference level) about creating "haves" and "have nots".
Ossyclogger makes the point succinctly that not enough were printed, but if it was a deliberate decision by ASFC then I'm deeply disappointed.

Re: Cambridge Program [sic]
why on earth would we make a deliberate decision not to print enough programmes? the more programmes we sell the better! we had the same amount printed as we normally do for a gate of that size, however we sold more than expected. hopefully the upturn in sales will continue and on the strength of that we'll make sure we have more printed for the forthcoming games...

Re: Cambridge Program
bit silly that isn't it.
if the quality is better it's obvious more people are going to buy it....would've thought it common sense to produce more?

Re: Cambridge Program
I got the impression from the comments on eBay that it was intended as a limited run. Having said that there is no indication within the programme that suggests a limited numbered run or any other form of exclusivity.
If it was intended to do this to raise value on eBay then it’s a grave error of judgement as these things only meet there real value after changing hands from the original vender. The eBay sales are there to raise money for the club, by printing 350 programmes instead of 1500 the club as lost a serious amount of income. The programme auction may have been a misjudgement, but if the club wants to make something back on it I would suggest they guarantee the exclusivity of it and have it signed by the managers and players……….

Re: Cambridge Program
I was selling them like "hot cakes" and many people made comments on how good the new programme looked. So hopefully the people that dont usually buy programmes, start to buy them.
£2...
A bargain, if you dont like programmes go and buy a pint in the Sports Bar
