May as well have our own survey, although I dont have too many (confirmed) sightings so far:

YES
Blackburn United
Dalkeith Thistle
Newtongrange Star
Sauchie

NO
Lochee Harp
Livingston United
Pumpherston
Whitburn
Fauldhouse Utd

in the east superleague the teams that i know do sell programmes are tayport kelty and glenrothes im surprised that more super league teams dont sell them as some junior teams with a fraction of the budget often produce very good programmes

YES
Blackburn United
Dalkeith Thistle
Newtongrange Star
Sauchie
Tayport
Kelty Hearts
Glenrothes

NO
Lochee Harp
Livingston United
Pumpherston
Whitburn
Fauldhouse Utd

I don't think it has too much to do with budget - more having someone with the time and dedication to do it.
I know that I spend a ridiculous amount of time putting Largs Thistle's programme together considering the sales. The physical "putting together" of a programme after all the reading material was gathered surprised me with the length of time it took.

I'd put the Rose on you NO list for as long as the 3 amigo's are incharge.

I'm upset

Haddington Athletic on the yes list (league, Scottish and EoS)

Edited to add

Broxburn Athletic are churning them out.
Stoneyburn? Didn't get one from this year's game but were producing them last term.

YES
Blackburn United
Dalkeith Thistle
Newtongrange Star
Sauchie
Tayport
Kelty Hearts
Glenrothes
Haddington Athletic
Broxburn Athletic

NO
Lochee Harp
Livingston United
Pumpherston
Whitburn
Fauldhouse Utd
Linlithgow Rose

Add Forfar West End and West Calder to the yes column

Add Bo'ness to the 'no' column.
And add Musselburgh to the 'yes' column, or at least sometimes.

Totally agree with theesel1994 about the problem being time. I used to do a Hearts fanzine and it took loads of time even with a long gap between issues.

Anyone with a full-time job and a family would find it incredibly difficult to churn one out on a regular basis.

St Andrews Utd have had a programme the last few years, according to their website it's won a few awards

http://www.standrews-utd.co.uk/10.html


Usually a decent programme anytime I've seen it

Broxburn yes
Bathgate no

This season I found the art of delegation What took approx 12-15 hours is now only taking 3 or so. One guy looks after the tables/results, another deals with pen-pics, and we have 'occasional' contributors. My job has become more that of editor than an author/researcher so I'm able to organise the thing a wee bit better.

Where can the results of these awards be found (on the net if possible)?
The Wirral Programme Club used to do the awards and the results were published each year in the Non League Club Directory - but they stopped doing the awards a few years ago. I think the magazine Programme Monthly may have started doing awards to take their place but have never saw their results anywhere. Probably just restricted it to their own magazine.

You can move Glenrothes to the No list! Since I resigned from the committee on Saturday I will no longer do the programme. Don't know if they will get anybody else to do it considering the time and knowledge required!

Scandal! what happened?

YES
Blackburn United
Dalkeith Thistle
Newtongrange Star
Sauchie
Tayport
Kelty Hearts
Haddington Athletic
Broxburn Athletic
Forfar West End
West Calder United
Musselburgh Athletic

NO
Lochee Harp
Livingston United
Pumpherston
Whitburn
Fauldhouse Utd
Linlithgow Rose
Glenrothes
Bathgate Thistle
Bo'ness United

I'm finding it a bit ridiculous the number of so-called Superleague clubs who dont issue a programme.

Programme Monthly started doing the English Non League awards after the Wirral one stopped they don't have a Scottish one although I suppose if folk suggested it to the editor I suppose he may start one.
They have a web site which has details of all the awards etc that they do.

I'm hoping at some point to maybe starting to do the odd programme for Lochgelly Albert.

You can add Thornton Hibs to the list of the clubs that produce programmes and from what i've been to this season then Lochore Welfare, Ballingry Rovers, Kirkcaldy YM, and Camelon dont issue.

Luncarty do programmes, I've just remembered

We only do them when we play big teams

How often do Pumphy do them?

I'm pretty much certain you can add Hill of Beath to the No's. The last time i was there at the end of last season for the Kelty v Thornton final i asked if there was programmes. Guy at the gate said that it would be up to the clubs concerned to produce as "we certainly dont do them".

What is it with some people and programmes? Get a life!

You must have been quick getting back from Tayport.

the tandem got a puncture going over the bridge

Oh the irony

Took you long enough to bite sorry i mean reply,the reason i stopped doing the programmes is because i lost my source to print them.

Excuses excuses, I'm sure you can get a printers to do them for you.....

Click to view attachment going cheap

Maybe he didn't go to another game!

Tayport can be a very cold place when your team is getting pumped to the botom of the league

So i have been told

No programmes at Harthill Royal.

Arbroath Vics issued last season, not sure if they are still issuing. Apart from that, the North Division is near to a programme desert, though Montrose Roselea's relegation has caused an oasis. I got one at Broughty in 2007, but not sure if they are issuing now.

Steelend Vics, Oakley United, Newburgh and Bankfoot Athletic are non-issuers. Rosyth did issue a couple of seasons back but as far as I know don't issue now. Crossgates Primrose were another to issue in the recent past but have now ceased. Not sure about Jeanfield Swifts, although I don't think they issued last season.

Think Rosyth stopped issuing towards the end of last season Rob, shame as it was a fair effort.

A poster on another forum tells me that he got a programme at Blairgowrie in September, a 4 pager given away with admission.

Looking forward to getting one on Saturday at Blackburn.Probably wont need to buy a paper all week there will be so much reading in it from what i gather.Names of players and adverts in it as well? Too much to take in at the match.Will save this great read till i get home.
Oh wait a minute i am going away this weekend. Could someone please save me a programme or does anyone know if you can buy them online?

The Blackburn programme is very decent. Would put some Div 3 clubs to shame.
I believe you can buy them online from the club website.

Thanks Jimmy. I will buy one online or get someone who is going to the match to get me one.Wouldnt miss it for the world.
Programmes eh? You cant do without them.

i could get chick pearson to pick one up for you.just give me your address and i will deliver it in person,hows that repairing old bridges mate. just pm your address when youve got time buddy

A little tip for any Committee Members out there. I do the programme for one of the clubs listed and it actually makes a lot of MONEY on the Sponsorship side in our case circa £2,000 per season through adverts and player sponsors. It takes a bit of effort to set up but once up and running a couple of hours work per week for 2 people. by using technology and a printer. We only charge 50p for it and know a few clubs who give them out free. It took a while for a couple of our committee members to work out that the profit was from adverts and not based on the 6 or so we sell per week!
Penicuiks is one of the best I have seen and is a top quality production.

Add Blairgowrie and Arbroath Vics to the Yes column.

Both issue the programmes free on entry. Blair a single sheet folded and Vics is about 20 pages.

Got one organised thanks mate. Not wanting one of your school chums having to buy a programme with his pocket money and then cycle to my house on his bike with it on these dark nights.
Thanks anyway
