Cambridge United Programme

What was the point in only printing 350 for this game?

Surely you're denying an opportunity to make money through added programme sales. As a CUFC fan, i buy a programme from every single match i attend, and sadly im now missing one from our game with yourselves, and looks like i wont be able to get hold of one.

A bit daft really, is there any valid reason why this happened?

Chris they are available at your club shop..............

As for printing 350, it is extremely hard to judge, we had the same amount printed for our Halifax game and we still had some left over and there was over 1000 more fans on that game than there were on Saturday, so it's hard to judge who's going to buy what.....

Also, please refer to the other Programme link further down...........

With regard to an earlier post that Cambridge Utd did not recieve hardly any programmes, there was a programme seller on the away end that did not sell out until 2:50 on the matchday and also they took 35 programmes back to Cambridge with them in order that no one missed out. Just letting you know :)

Many thanks for that information, Karen.

It would appear that at least one group of the CUFC visiting supporters did not know what was happening overall.

I totally accept what you say as a representative of ASFC, and I'm sorry if my earlier post elevated the visitors' complaint to a cause celebre .

taken from the fishy site

Accrington Stanley will produce over 30,000 of our new and improved, match day programmes for the 2005/06 season. These will be distributed to players, match officials and sponsors, and sold to home and visiting supporters of clubs from up and down the country. We also run a highly successful subscription service, sending out our home programmes all over the world!

that to me equates to 1000 programmes per match based on an estimation of 30 home matches including a few cup games that we may or may not participate in (not withstanding the Inter-Toto Lancashire cup for reasons of low attendance).

So why for two games that would be high on the estimated gate list would we print 350. Surely then the print run would be lower for games against say Forest Green or Tamworth? 350 x 30 is only 10 500 which is way way short of the advertised 30 000+.

So what is it then? Are we being misled?

i don't think we are in the business of misleading people, though perhaps the 30,000 plus figure is a little high as an estimate. programme sales are well down at the moment, hopefully the improved quality will help to boost sales...
 
Now I remember why I stopped posting new threads......... thanks for the reminder people.
