the idea of the voucher in the programme was introduced in response to concerns that had been expressed to the club regarding the allocation of tickets should we have a game at which a large crowd is expected. we thought that the voucher in the programme would help to ease these concerns.

i am not going to insult anyone's intelligence and suggest that the idea that programme sales would be boosted did not cross our mind, in fact at the moment a large amount of everyone's time at the club goes on ensuring that we maximise income while the club is doing well and also ahead of what could be a step into the unknown next season. i do not think that the price of £2.00 for a programme is ripping people off, in fact i don't think you'll find a cheaper one in the conference. i also believe it is one of the best in our league with some superb content from a wide range of contributors.

to clarify the situation...

season ticket holders will of course gain admission to all home league games using their regular pass, however in the event of tickets being sold for one of the remaining matches this season, as a further reward they will be given first priority to buy an additional two tickets.

voucher holders will then be allowed a period in which to buy tickets. i do accept that perhaps it is silly to expect a family of four to have to buy four programmes to take advantage of the offer, and so we are happy to allow voucher holders to purchase two tickets per voucher.

finally the print run of programmes has increased in the last few games with the increased gates that we have enjoyed, and there will be more than 350 programmes on sale tomorrow.
