Surely with PL income streams, even at the smaller clubs like Palace, programme sales are simply small change. It is our special programme - let us enjoy it without another lesson in how inferior we are compared to Crystal Palace.Lundan Cabbie":1cb9679d said:X Isle":1cb9679d said:A quick skim through Cabbie and I doubt it. It's virtually a book.
It sounds similar to Palace's programme this season which is 88 pages, hard spined and with a hologram cover. It's only £3.50 though and based on that, is why I said the price might be supporting any losses in the case of production outstripping demand.
All I suggested was that the club may have priced it so that they can produce enough to cover demand and have a safety net should they misjudge it and good for them for doing so.
I can promise you one thing though. Premier League clubs, despite their overall income would never produce programmes with a loss in mind. The cost of production of tonight's special edition may not be as great as some might think it would be.
