QRL Program(me) consigned to (sin) bin ????

[The Partisan]

Going by the below article the days of grabbing the program(me) at the gate are gone for the Intrust Super Cup and other major comps.

First thought it ( the online version) was an option only.....but article second paragraph distinctly says 'replacing'.


Will be a sight to see all the old guys ( aka over 50 !) peering into their iPads !

Hope the QRL finds another way to pump some money into Cracker Print.

Gotta look after the old mates

Maybe Cracker has retired and sold the business. No point supporting them any more.

Still, will save the frustration of turning up and finding the supply of 50 programmes is all gone by 2.30 pm.

So much for pulling out a five year old programme and seeing how the plyaers from then have kicked on. Will have to start a website collection instead.

Precedents in the good ol' USA that perhaps the media mob at Milton thought worth trying.

Very unhappy that I couldn't buy my boy a program now that he's at least feigning interest. Give a kid an electronic device at a football game for a second and see how much football they watch.

The clubs should at very least provide a single A4 sheet with game day team listings and advertising material on the back. It's not hard boys. It's not hard.

You could produce a simple sheet with the info people want to look at on the day :

- teams for each grade
- premiership ladder
- next week's games

All can be copied from the QRL site. Not hard.

 

[Stewbum]

That's crazy talk.

If this was 1994 I'd start my own program and sell it until shut down by goons.

Easts did that a few time - did their own A4 sheet folded in 2 with team lists etc..

BUT it wasnt worth the paper it was printed on as the team that would run out looked nothing like the one printed...

Easts are the worst for that for some reason - no idea why

Easts are the worst for everything.
