Jaggernaut Posted October 31, 2021 Report Share Posted October 31, 2021 Sorry, but I'm an old codger; is a "mailshot" the new "matchday programme?" If so, how is it better than what we've had and enjoyed for so many decades? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not at the moment. I don't know if that will change once various restrictions disappear (or if new owners decide they want a return to a printed version).

I’m not sure what restrictions (except finance) have on it, I can buy a pie or a halftime draw ticket at game, I can be handed a (informative) leaflet from the Jags Foundation in the concourse before the game. The whole appeal of a program is to read it waiting for the game to start or at halftime. I hope (especially for older fans) this decision is reviewed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jaggernaut Posted November 1, 2021 Report Share Posted November 1, 2021 I wonder if in decades to come, instead of matchday programmes collectors will have gigabytes of electronic mailshots, some of which will no longer be readable on computers of the future. Maybe they'll be offered for sale on whatever will pass for eBay when those days come. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
