Any chance of getting more on sale for the coming fixtures?

I shouldn't comment as I haven't even seen one yet, but does anybody find them interesting?

Collector, Piston Broke, what are your views of the mag?

Leigh for instance are still printing their own and people cannot afford to buy two,which in turn means they do not sell the quota from Red Hall.
That has to eat into the profit of their own I think our club has it right given we have to buy them anyway by selling them with the clubs own inner it suits everyone then and everyones happy .

They'll not need a propaganda mag once they've got their chosen French, Irish, and Scottish teams in place.

Any chance of getting more on sale for the coming fixtures? Since the RFL started to publish the new Game On the Club is required to buy at least 250 of them from Red Hall every match. Members of the Supporters Trust volunteered to do the selling of programmes for the club and it is now the Supporters Trust who buy and sell programmes. As you can imagine as the Trust have to buy them it is hard to pinpoint with accuracy the optimum needed for each match, as one thing we cannot afford to do is overbuy.We were also unsure how it would be received as at some clubs they are having to buy them and are not selling them, we would love to be ordering and selling hundreds more. It would be more money for the club but as they are not sale or return we are left with not daring to order more than we can comfortably sell..Fortunatly at Halifax we are just about selling out every week, even though we have upped our order and intend to do so again. We have been overwhelmed at the support we have received from the Fax fans buying the programme in increasing numbers and hope you will continue to do so.It is another area where we can all help our club grow stronger and some time in the not too distant future we hope we will be ordering and selling thousands .But an immediate answer to your question is yes we will be ordering more but if you do still miss them sometimes Malcom may have one or two in the shop after a game if they have had more than needed in hospitality. Thanks again for your support.

There was a shocking error in yesterdays edition whereby they showed a pic of Anthony Bowman and said that he'd scored three tries against Batley when it was Andy who had done it..... Erm...its a good effort...but does anyone read it from cover to cover? Most of the coaches comments from other clubs seem very similar. I can understand it being a boost to clubs with smaller attendances who must have been losing money on a programme...and it is an RL instruction that all clubs have to issue one. Will they have the same fascination in years to come that "traditional" ones do?
