ACA Creative are the publishers. Got onto them and ordered one online. Arrived today promptly, only negative is the almost double cost of getting my hands on it vs on the night.

Was charged 7euro however nearer the ground a young lad was selling them for 5 euro. Will continue to buy have been collecting for years.The programme itself is the usual bags of tricks. Don't like the Kids Zone, Gary Spain and Gerry Farrell I like. The Obituary's used to be better with a piece about the deceased. All these people have played huge roles in football in this country.

Not Ireland related, but the Scots have created 2 souvenir programmes for their 150th anniversary match against England. A 150 paged special edition one that went on sale at the match on Tuesday, and a bound collectors item, limited to a run of 150:

Quality of the official programme has plummeted in the last year or so. I realise they are now souvenirs of the occasion more than amything else and all the info you need can be found on your phone, but why isn't there a team line-ups page any more? I mean it's not like the back cover it taken up by a advert for a major FAI sponsor, so plaster a by FAI crest there instead of the team listings?

Price of a programme seems to have stuck pretty rigidly to the price of a pint over the years, now that I think of it.

As mentioned above does anyone know the publishers of the match programmes now?? I missed picking one up as none were for sale once you passed the first ticket check. Very strange as I always bought either in the stand or just outside the turnstile.

A young lad ( no more than 15 i would guess) selling on his own at the Lansdowne road entrance last night. I took time to notice he was operating out of a bag of cash tied to the stall.

Wasn't able to pick up a programme last night as none of the sellers were taking card (supposedly the 'card system was down'). Also saw a lad ahead of me getting charged a tenner as they had no change.
Anyone have or know where I can pick one up now? Since the publisher has changed from DBA it's no longer as easy

Yeah as i really only get them now as a souvenir, have had to go to the Match Programme stall in the concourse (LWS) the last number of times as they accept card payments. However, for last night the shutters were down and i saw no sellers with a card reader... Disappointing if this is going to be the way forward.

Yeah the lack of credit card option was a big drawback.
The seller I went to gave it to me for a fiver though, which was sound. Might stop getting them now though, too expensive for something that the kids don't even want any more

Yeah going in the podium entrance the guys selling the programmes had very little change and could only take cash
Make it a handy €5 cutting out the lack of change In a unrelated matter, it was sacrilege that some gangster 'hats & scarfs' seller blocked the 'Raglan Road' sign

Ah look, I'm certainly not buying them for their content anymore. I've been collecting them for 30 years now, so it's more out or habit at this stage. (I actually was cataloging mine a few weeks back - The A4 programmes from 90s-early 2000s were so much better quality and value for money. The standard has dropped so much in the 10 odd years). I feel like there was a bit of price gouging tonight with the refusal to provide change, and I wanna know if anyone else noticed this Edited by zizu Kilbane - 10 Sep 2023 at 11:02pm |

They are quite literally a souvenir and souvenir only. Prior to having all the info in world history in the palm of your hand, I understand its significance. Relating to basic information and boredom reading. 2023. Useless.
