Are back for on sale. Goes to show the club read this board and act.

Mr Walter Mitty Shithead improving the fan matchday experience?

I have no idea don’t know the bloke and don’t want to know the bloke. Maybe you can answer your own question for us all

might actually have worked out how much money they have lost by not selling them. at least now if we go away we can accuse that club of being tin pot if they do not print a programme or program for out yanky fans.

Well done Pools- I'm absolutely delighted with that news

trouble is they haven,t found anyone to sell em yet.

I can think of two suitable programme sellers, John Walter Mitty Shithead and Rose Stoker as vthey do not appear to do anything much.

Great news.

Apart from the main ticket office the programmes will be available for the bar staff in the three home stands

Bonkers idea, especially if it's a kid of 11 or 12 that wants to buy one. If the queues at the bar under the Millhouse are 10 deep as usual, I won't be getting one either.

Why not let the raffle ticket sellers have them? There's never a queue for raffle tickets - they might shift a few more if they had programmes as well

my comment was half tongue in cheek but going from the past had a bit of truth in it. got one from the club shop but never saw anyone else selling them. someone inside by the town end fence like the raffle seller stands would be ideal if a little annoying passing the money through the fence.

They're available in the club shop too.

Got mine no problem, from the bar in the corner of Townend at ten to three..no one was at the bar then.
Just had to walk along from where I came in on Millhouse side.Glad to see proper programmes back...that's Hard copies that..init,like.

I came in on the Millhouse side at ten to three and the queues at the bar under the stand were still 6 or 7 deep Seeing the start of the match is more important than a programme so I passed and went to my seat.

Same story at half time. Didn't spot a single person looking at a programme on the Millhouse either. I bet three-quarters of the club's bar-take is from the Millhouse. Drinkers yes, readers not so much...

really would you expect to go to a bar to find programmes for sale at any football ground. be a good excuse to stop them again at the end of the season if that carries on due to poor sales figures. need someone stood selling them outside the turnstiles and the way the vic is 3 or would do.

I was in the Cyril Knowles stand and no steward knew where they were on sale. Me and a friend hunted them down but to no result.
Crazy!

What valuable info is actually in a programme apart possibly a statement from the chairman which has probably already been on the OS, no one takes any notice of the adverts and the team line up is not up to date.

I sit on mine as the seats are uncomfortable.

It is a tangible symbol of the game which you can take away and eventually chuck in the box with all the others. Then after years have elapsed you can dig them out and consider the past only to realise that nowts changed over the past 50 years.

Fair summary Most men are habitual collectors. Everything from bottle tops to locomotive numbers to mail order brides to sheds full of old junk they will never find a use for. I collect HUFC programmes

I would say most men are compulsive hoarders, everytime I moved house clearing the garage or the attic was always a nightmare, rule of thumb was if I hadn’t used it or looked at it for for a couple of years it got skipped or went to the charity shop. No one wants anything second hand nowadays and when you pop your clogs the kids will skip all your belongings not unless they are of any value. When I sold my last property I gave all my furniture, kitchenwares etc to charity, I have a few boxes of personal belongings in storage until I get another property.

better and cheaper than what women collect. shoes, handbags and clothes still in wardrobes with sales tickets on years after that shop shut down. shop at binns the buses said. shop at our house would be similar with the stuff that her in the kitchen has collected over the years but never wears. if i start looking at cars for sale i get earache.

Here's a suggestion that might help..ask someone who is right at the front of the queue for beer and ask them to get you a programme and cross their palms with £3.

I am sure someone from the club has read this and hopefully it will be rectified by Saturday. Lets hope

any volunteers. especially if the club gave em free admission for doing the job. would not be revolutionary if that happened.

The Millhouse bar wasn't busy at all pre-match so I got a programme no bother.

It's printed on good quality quality paper but looks like a throwback to the 1990s - the club certainly isn't wasting money on graphic designers! No bad thing as it'll keep production costs down, if not the purchase price...

Best of all for old skool scribblers like me, the squads are on the back page where they should be with loads of white space around the names, so I can make a note of the score (full time and half time) and do ratings for the Pools starters and subs. Pity there's so many 5s and 4s...

at least you only needed one hand to count and could hold your pen in the other.

Cheeky!

How many on here actually bought a printed programme yesterday, before anyone asks due to my current location I couldn’t attend, I couldn’t source a couple of pilots for my Jetstream.

Use the Dassault Falcon with the hot tub inside, you’ve just had serviced.

Whos writing these 4s and 5s, We need to know.
