Today's Match day Programme

who you contact to get a copy?Cheers

I did not publish this here!

More to the point, why is the programme for two matches?  

I think the Nix's programme, and its lack of availability at the stadium (unless things have changed which I doubt) etc lets the club down a bit.

It's nice production but a bit light on reading material. Tracey did a good piece in there along with Piney. They need an anorak full of statistics in it. It is a polished production on decent paper/cardboard. 

Ps: it was only $3 which is an excellent price considering the quality of the presentation.

Do you look for the sellers - last 2 seasons generally inline with the gate and entry door.

How many games a season and how many years have you attended since the 442 $5 programme supplied by FFA.

I'll be honest in that I've only been to 6 Nix games in my life but that's due to having lived in the US and then the UK since 2006.  Each time I have come I've hunted high and low to find a programme as I'll always buy one for whatever football/league/rugby match I go to, but have had real problems getting one at the Nix.  

The last game I went to I could only find the FFA one which I thought was a bit of a joke as it talked about the season about to start yet it was late January.  I had a good walk around the Cake Tin, had a look at the merchandise shops, where they are normally sold yet could not find one nor were any but that FFA thing to be found by the entrances.

Programmes should be a nice little earner for the club but the way the seem to be done at the Nix is at odds with what I've experienced everywhere, even the Kingz and Knights whose matches, for better or worse, I always attended.

One programme for two weeks also sounds silly, yes it's only $3, but if you by it this match, why buy it next.  $3 lost.  Across the fan base that's a lot of lost income, especially if they are not easy to find in the first place.

Times have changed and I suspect that it costs them far more to produce than what they get back in sales.

Yep I assume that no one buys them, I certainly don't. A complete waste of trees when everything is available online.

on my way in to the game on the weekend I had 3  opportunities to buy a programme. There are people selling them on the concourse and inside the entrance. 

I've never seen somebody buy one, or holding one they have previously purchased. 

What on earth would give you the impression that print media is a poor way to earn money?

I hear newspaper and magazine publishers are raking it in hand over fist.

Leaked pdf copies of programmes on online bulletin boards are killing the industry

Spin off will probably do it instead.

Maybe in Wellington/NZ, but definitely not in the UK and Ireland.  

$3 is a good price but maybe that's the problem.  I paid $5 10 years ago for Knights programmes and pay £5 or more here in the UK.  

If you don't advertise it, or under-price it, of course it's a loss maker.  Also if casual Nix attendees only think the programme is that pants FFA thing of course they won't buy it.  It should be at least self-sustaining with advertising slots ensuring that its a break-even product before turning up at the stadium for sale.

But why would you buy a program when all the info is in the Phoenix app?

I used to sell 2 to 300 Nix programs a game as a voluntary seller when Nix team was align with  #TeeDub 

what is with comparing everything to the UK? We aren't in the UK, nor is the UK an example of how all things football should be done. 

The number of English coaches employed by football teams (including our national team) suggests otherwise... which is shark.
