Out of curiosity I called in at the club and purchased a copy of the Game On programme this morning.

Having had a browse through it, I'm actually rather pleased with the publication and its well worth the £2.

Each home team gets a page, which in Halifax's case is used for a piece from Matt Calland, and a piece from Michael Steele, Match Sponsors for each match are also mentioned alongside the team, as well as a box at the bottom of the page for clubs to put their sponsors in ect.

A few other Editorials added in, as well as profiles of selected players from selected clubs and a bit of a quiz at the back and its not a bad programme at all.

The clubs insert contains a "Dave Fleming" coloumn as well as fixtures, club records ect and sponsors adverts.

I was very sceptical towards it when it was announced, but having had a read I think its a good thing.

Sounds good Brew do the club have copys for the Blackpool game then? If so I will have to get 1 as im now missing this game

.

Don't get sucked in by the PR machine. WE WANT CLUB PROGRAMMES!

Club programmes especially in the lower leagues aren't worth the money, just pages and pages of adverts. Game On is a good read and well worth £2

you are Nigel Wood & I claim my £5!

Yeh, Just call in at the office and Mal"Delboy"fax will sort you out i'm sure.

Saw the one from Keighley's game... Looks quite good actually..

You are Richard Lewis and I claim my £5!

I wonder if Paul Sculthorpe will now become Chairman of the Lawn Tennis Association?

Leigh are still doing a club programme AFAIK

They are, and possibly Widnes too, but they still have to buy the Propoganda News Letter from SS HQ, whether they sell them or not.

Having read it, There's not much if any propoganda in it, And no pictures of Richard Lewis either, and I dont recall it mentioning SL either.

To the sceptical, Buy a copy and have a look before making a judgement

I thought it was going to be an A4 size glossy publication.

It is neither A4 nor glossy - a bit of a disappointment really.

Mines A5 and Glossy

I was surprised that the club insert is also a "Glossy" page, I expected a Black and white piece of copier paper,

I guess I may have been setting my sights a bit high - I was anticipating something similar in size to (and of the same quality production) as 'Rugby League World'.

I felt that, as it is a publication for all 23 (?) Championship clubs, it might have been somewhat more ambitious and prestigious.

To produce it weekly wouldn't be feasible though.

As it is I think its fine, as long as it maintains the same standard throughout the season it'll be a worthwhile publication.

1st Issue has all stats from last year in, hopefully following issues will have week by week stats for this season in.

Brew. There's been how many publications? You are being suckered already!

Well . . . debut of a new programme entitled "Game On" when the game was off isn't a bright start

saw for example you watched blackpool play is the a team sheet showing players and opponents and also room to put result and try scorers in

Our club are a case in point - I've only known one person actually buy the Game On magazine, and that was the first week of the season. Would much rather read about my own club and the game in question, to be honest.

While it is a shame there isn't a bit more Fax related content I have found that "Game On" lasts me longer than the old program which I could read in the half time break and gives a bit of a heads up on the other teams. My least favourite bit is Jon Wilkin's ambassador column, it just reads like it's come from a SL program and they've remembered to throw in a bit of NL at the end. On the whole I quite like "Game On".
