Having a look through it now and it looks like player sponsorships have massively declined, alot of the programme is just chip paper and they even have the cheek to show the kit with a coming soon stamp on it, baring in mind its 2 weeks into the season and we are yet to hear anything

Unless I missed it there was nothing about how much kit sponsorship cost either.

Nor about the referee. Slipshod effort

@ivansneck Costings are on page 52, next to the list of sponsors. I've read the programme today and I don't think its any worse or better than last year. I enjoyed reading Colin Slater's letter to Sam Allardyce, finding out a bit about Adam Collins and the photo of Pedro Richards. However it could do with somebody proof reading it, and is it worth three quid? 

I should have proof read my own post...Adam Collin.

Obviously I haven't had the chance to see the programme yet. I really like the retro look of the cover though. If it really does claim that we're the world's oldest football club that is SHOCKING. Most football fans know what the oldest club is.

I wouldn't worry too much about player sponsors, that's always pretty bare at the start of the season.

I used to buy a programme religiously at every match, but I stopped when my cupboard was full of them. Now I think they are too expensive and have so many pages I usually don't even get round to reading it all. A 30-page programme selling at 1.50, with the focus on quality rather than quantity, would be fine. Some other clubs have gone down this route already.

Quite a few regulars have told me they don't feel the price is fair, this is people who have loyally sponsored players for years.

It does seem steep, as I have spoken to Walsall and Rotherham about another project and I could pay for that and slightly go over but I would be getting value (plus two different players). I really think Notts and the new CEO needs to look at the value and how they can get supporters back on board. Everyone I've ever spoken to about it, has told me that it should be 'fans' and not businesses with little interest in the club.

In fact same person as I mentioned first, told me that many of these companies stopped attending games last season.

Didn't RT get rid of the entire media department and bring in some posh kid?

same thing happened with the team, have you seen or heard how posh hewitt seems? the programme is crap this year.

Now we are the 'world's oldest league club'. Which still ain't quite right.
 

 

As the Football League has re-branded and to make it clear to people (or potential investors) who might not understand the whole Football League (now EFL) structure I would suggest for the programme 'Notts County - The World's Oldest Professional Football Club'.

I took a decision to buy another programme yesterday to see if things have improved... Well View from the Press Box content can only be best described as abject filling by a perceived Forest supporting reporter, with no apparent "love" for Notts. @erindoors do the contributors get paid for this? I am sure that individual Notts supporters could do a better job and make it a more worthwhile read.

Lack of quality reporting already exposed in the Media Department...

Notts County FC ‏@Official_NCFC  17h17 hours ago

Our apologies, it was rather frantic here. The penalty wasn't saved, it was straight onto the post and behind for a goal kick.

 

78' #Notts 1-2 Grimsby: Penalty saved. O'Connor steps up and side-foots against the woodwork.

 

Trips to Specsavers envisaged for Media Dept this week

 It is now I am pleased to read The official matchday magazine of The world's oldest football league club.  

'The alternative match report' about Crawley was good.

If we've got to go with that, surely it should be Football League. Or is the Northern Premier League (where Sheffield FC play) not a football league?

I realise I'm something of a bore on this subject

View from the Press Box in the Accrington programme confirms my view of another piece of abject reporting. 

Has Leigh Curtis written any? I really wonder why he doesn't seem to any more - I actually preferred his write ups.

Also, was the last home edition bigger in terms of pages?
