New programme is fantastic the QR links are a good step forward, plenty more content and the new size is better. Content was a touch thin so you knew some would cry. but a bit of patience is required as they had clearly been working on other aspects of the programme first. You know, because it's new.

I like the new size but the paper quality is very poor, it`s like the non league programmes, glossy cover with thin paper inside.

The new size [A5] is fine, as is the content, but the paper quality is awful.

Would you rather the club spent more on a jazzy programme or saved the pounds and just produced something that was basic but still had the same quality content? I'm glad the club is saving the pennies on things like this.

No, just prefer gloss to matte.

Paper quality may not be great but that's because it's being printed on recycled paper.

Personally I think they're doing a good job on the programme. I can see what people are saying about it being like a fanzine but the concept of the football programme has changed. Nobody buys it to find out the team anymore, people just like the articles/posters etc.

So, it has evolved into a matchday magazine which you can read at the ground and when you get home.

We have one of the best programmes in the division judging from what I read on the road. Only West Brom's the other season was better. I can live with the recycled paper - it's the content that matters and it's good.

My first thoughts were that the paper was re-cycled, & i'm all for that, it just that i find the print a little bit harder to read, even wearing glasses. I don't agree with buying it not to find out the team, thats the main reason i do buy it, & for the stats as well.
I also enjoy collecting City programs, trouble is i'm fast running out of space! :old: :old: :old:

The programme cant tell you the starting team.

Therefore it's just a magazine. I think it's a good one and am looking forward to more. :ayatollah:
