LATEST PROGRAMME NEWS & ADDITIONS 2008-2009

 

09/10/08 from Gyles Basey-Fisher: 'Further to your programmes pages, Dersingham Rovers have started printing again this season. They did not produce for the first game of the season, my visit, due to problems with the adverts, but I received a copy from their next game. Holt United, their opponents on the night produce for every home game, and the editor was proud to point out that he has not missed an issue in 8 seasons. Got a programme for a night game at Petershill, back in August and from Sporting Toulon in France'.

 

09/10/08 from Chris Powell: On 04/10/08 LLANGOLLEN TOWN v Tywyn Bryncrug, Welsh Cup 2nd Round. Issued a 30 page programme for £1. I was told they are issuing for home games this season.

 

09/10/08 from Andy Gallon: 'Tuesday, 7th October; Barton Town Old Boys v Appleby Frodingham; Northern Counties East League Division One; 40pp; £1. Sixteen pages of adverts in a commendable effort from a club whose issue improves every season. Given this was Barton's third home game in a week, programme editor Phil Hastings (bartontown@gmail.com) must have been extremely busy. The content was smack up to date, with a match report and stats from last Saturday's game against Glasshoughton Welfare. This fixture also featured in a 'What The Papers Said' section. There was a welcome from long-serving club secretary Pete Mitchell, a review of the past weekend's matches involving NCEL clubs, two pages (including pen pictures) devoted to the visitors, two pages detailing Barton's history, two pages for the Swans' game-by-game statistics, four pages of fairly bewildering information which included Most Frequent Scorelines in the NCEL this season (0-1, depressingly, topped the table), plus a round-up of very recent news from this league. An eyecatching cover, too - no mean feat when you consider Barton's sky blue and white colours are rather less than vivid.
