A couple of guys were giving away (free) Rochdale Hornets v Centurions programmes from 2006 and 2007 on the LSV forecourt on Thurs night..........anyone know what this generous gesture was about ?

If they are reading this.....thanks guys !!

I did not see it but if I had I would have asked.

I was given a Rochdale programme,on Thursday, i was told it was the RFL doing it for Memorabilia,or something like that.

Spotting a gap in the market, when there's no 'Centurion' magazine to be had?

The Centurion is a great magazine ,i lovereading it,dont stop ,shows we are independant,have our own personality, i would NEVER buy Game On ,on its own.

Game on is garbage.Last season before I went to Toulouse my younger bro asked me to get him a programme.

Well I did and it cost 2 euro he has still not payed me for it.

Haven't a clue what is happening to 'The Centurion' next season. I guess it could boil down to sales/profitability. For my part, I still haven't got over us not producing one for the Sheffield game.

Why not?

My feeling is that it is an important way of communicating with the supporters. If you break the continuity, fans may stop buying it. Still, they will get many weeks now, to get out of the habit!

As a matter of interest, FS, were you aware that hardly any Championship clubs produce their own programme? The RFL has 'helped them out' by producing 'Game On' magazine. 'Game On' is a fine publication, in its own right, but is of more general interest than a club's own programme, which is usually about that club and its visitors.

Presumably Salford produce their own programme?

What would be your feelings if they stopped doing that?

I must admit I do like the Game On magazine because of the fact it does look at the whole competition, and its good to know whats happening - I don't buy any RL papers nowadays.
I do like how the club sell our own and give the Game On - shame its not guaranteed but that reason has been given already.

Also I keep meaning to call into the ticket office to collect the Halifax program that I couldn't get when I went to the actual match. I still don't know if "Alex's Dad" got home from that adventure to France.

I won't ask if any are still knocking about - because someone will post "Try ringing them up" with the phone number.

They usually have a number of back issues, so you should be able to get one through the ticket office. Costs about £10, if I remember correctly!
