I have to say I think the design and layout of the programme has improved enormously over the last couple of seasons. Sadly the content is very disappointing. I reckon it takes me about ten minutes to read it cover to cover, and it is possible to skip over a lot of pages (such as the DRFC Exiles page) because they just repeat huge chunks of text from previous programmes. The stats section is dreadful, although I don't bother much about that as I keep my own stats. I suppose it is all down to costs, but as someone who has collected programmes ever since I started following Rovers I'm beginning to wonder if it is worth buying one at every game.
Seems a pretty lame excuse to me, MrFrost. Surely they can change any aspect of the design- although I appreciate they probably can't do so once the template has been set for the season.We'll see if they change the design of the stats section for next season- but I won't hold my breath.
RR45Funnily enough I had precisely that conversation with the doyen of Rovers programme collecting, Barry Watson. Barry dislikes the modern "magazine" format intensely and that is one of the reasons why he's packing up collecting at the end of this season.
