Title: Programme on the internet

This could be a good fundraiser. Iditions are the company that host the online version of the non league paper. They can also host football programmes. They charge the club £1.29 per page and the club charge the buyer via a subscription fee. This might interest fans who can't get to games and anyone who wants to read the programme early.

Assuming the programme is put together in Page Maker or something similar - it should be easy enough to put together a PDF version of the programme and email it to any "online subscribers" via the eBay shop or PayPal. No need to pay someone else to host it.

In principle it's an interesting idea and quite an attractive proposition for exiled fans.

I think one problem is that there would be nothing to stop one person subscribing and then distributing the PDF document to "non-subscribers".

If it could be done in a way which prevents this from happening I think it could be a nice little money-spinner.

As a general rule we fans don't aim to rip the club off though, like Chiswick says if it is the case of creating the pdf it could be easy as 123 to set up

1 create program

2 export to pdf

3 upload to site/ email out.

its pretty simple!

Yup, can't see many fans paying for it then ripping the club off by forwarding it on, given you'd have to be reasonably dedicated to want it in the first place
