Pre order your Barnsley programme http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/ALTRINCHAM-V-BARNSLEY-07-11-15-FA-CUP-PRE-ORDER-PROGRAMME-/171980181154?hash=item280ad14ea2:g:3~oAAOSw9N1VlpD0

They're ripping off programme collectors, not the club. I imagine that every programme that's printed for Saturday will be sold.

[ShropshireAlty]

Not sure I'd agree they are ripping anyone off. They are just being enterprising and where there is a demand people will always be enterprising. Still pretty cheeky though .

[B. 4D]

The same was happening at Blyth Spartons last year.
You got in the ground to find out that they had all been sold.
Then you find out next day, you could buy them from somebody selling the programmes in
Ireland!!!!

[ShropshireAlty]

Isn't this guy just selling two programmes though, so it won't make any difference to anyone?

[Mallorca Alty]

If anyone is daft enough to pay 10 quid for a programme that costs 2-3 pounds then more fool them.

[hsmith1]

says £4.99 and only 1 left

[roytonmike]

Considering the programme is unlikely to have gone to print at this point, I'd say more fool anyone who bids ...

What's to stop the club pre selling the match programme at the cover price plus £1.00 postage and under cutting the rip off artist?

I've just posted off a couple of Alty programmes sold on Ebay and the postage is slightly under £1.00 (but don't tell anyone !)

One eminent contributor to the 'Robins Review' won't be submitting his copy to the Editors until Wednesday at least.

Or a program subscription for exiles.. Especially if the exile got them in time for the day of the game.

Radio Robins / Alty TV donation and a program bundled together under one nice monthly subscription.. Call it a loyALTY program.

i like the idea of that jack

A programme subscription service is something that's been in my mind for a while actually, partly due to the fact that like on Saturday, I often get to the ground at 2.50 and they are sold out.

Presumably posting the programme out in time for the day of the game might be unworkable but perhaps electronic versions could be made available on the day of the game and then the hard copy sent out in due course for the hardcore collectors that require a physical copy?

Of course I've no idea if this would be workable or whether it would make the club any extra money but certainly something to consider. I seem to recall that Halfiax and Southport offer something similar.

In addition , if the club or anybody does have a copy of the Torquay programme from Saturday that they don't want to keep and would care to sell/give to me then i'd be happy to take it off there hands (at cover price of course).

Cheers

Maybe worth a shout phoning the club quite often they find a few after games that have been given to the away team or the officails
