Sales were definitely down but that’s what happens when programmes are not available to buy around the ground on match days as has been the case this season.

I have ZERO programmes from my past. Really wish I still had some. But, I would not dream about taking away something like programmes, from others or myself. Not so this generation tho eh? Move on you old useless etc’s! I don’t want to see the end of programmes. But obv. from the posts here the new tech aces, better than old guys previous supporters can’t work computers non aces, should be listened to. Kill the programmes! Only “social media” allowed!
Hopefully for you young lot, us that kept this club going with our support 70/80/90s, in honour of our forebears who kept the club going 40/50/60s, in honour of they’re forebears, hopefully we won’t last too long so our silly old desire to cling on to what we like with Hibs won’t inconvenience you too long because you want it all your way & stuff the older generations.

Tell me you've had a bit too much to drink without telling me you've had a bit too much to drink.

Why’d I bother, you’d only come back wi a smirky type reply? Fortunately for you I’m back at work where drink’s not allowed. Soon as I’m finished here tho…

Interesting fact :

HIBS have lost every game since deciding to stop publishing a Match Day Programme

It might be an idea to have an online subscription version that is only released 1hr before the game to mobile phones, (at a cost of course)?

Anyone got an email address for Aidan Smith? We are still short of an Editor for our planned resurrection and he surely fits the bill.

I see on eBay that somebody produced an unofficial 8 page programme for the Dundee Utd game !
£3.50 a pop which was more expensive than the official programme :confused:

I enjoyed your post but thought it was a dry humour job with a serious message rather than a totally serious one. hence my reply.
Moreover, as someone older than you it struck a chord and I was laughing with you, not at you.

I keep trying to decide if the end of programmes is inevitable and Hibs are actually ahead of the curve, or if this is a terrible idea, that laughs in the face of tradition, lifelong supporters and the true meaning of what a local football club is about.

I've finally decided it's the latter. I think this stinks and I really believe its a mistake, particularly if Hibs really want to have a closer relationship with their fans.

Good luck to Iggy Pope and the others looking to put together a fan version, I really hope its a big success and shows Hibs that they have made an error.
