Talk about a rip off.

Just renewed my subscription to the home day programmes.

Cot is £90 for the season which I'm happy to pay.

But it's gone up to £80 for the postage. Given it usually arrives here about 2 weeks after a game, that is a real rip off in my opinion.

No one forces you to pay the postage - you want the service you pay the price.

That is what supply and demand is all about.

For me to get Blues gear delivered to Oz it costs me $50 (20 pounds). It's my choice



LOL :lol: :lol:

yep - your right, and I chose to pay the price.

Still, I'm not happy about it.

there is a small business opportunity for a fan who goes to all away games here....

I would buy a copy of each away programme for my son, did prog master first season, but they missed a few and were always late...

so if an away going fan brought enough for the home fans demand, and sold at st andrews the following home game, adding say £1.00 onto cover price, i reckon he could be making between £50-£250 per game, mutiply that by 18 (and a few cup games) say 22 games, he could net between £1100 and £4400 per yr, which would pay for ALL his travel and all his tickets etc


I would but have kids, job and can't get to all away games, i reckon prog master must have 500 or so bcfc people paying daft money (around £4 extra per prog)

You should have asked someone on here to do it for you. I would have had no trouble buying and posting your programmes to you after every home game if it would have saved you money !!

You should subscribe to the Blues Magazine instead - £29.50 for the whole year - 12 copies for the price of 10 - including free postage! Much better value (but as editor, I'm a bit biased!)

Just call 01225 899975.
