Went to Boro' v Man United on Saturday and bought a programme (as I do for every game I attend) but was surprised and also a little disappointed to see that two different covers exist, having then read the opening page of the programme, they have done this for EVERY game this season, produced two different front covers for each game, how does this sit with fellow collectors, would you buy both, more importantly would you buy both if YOUR club did this for a whole season ?

What a surprise. A premier team that think nothing of ripping their fans off. What a disgrace.

Would I buy both if Rovers did it? I really don't know. I wouldn't want to but then I would hate to miss out on having them in my collection.
If Rovers suggested doing it I would do everything in my power to get our editor to change his mind. That would have to include resigning as a contributer to the programme.

I noticed this earlier in the season and I think it's an absolute rip off!

I can't see any logic to it other than trying to generate additional revenue.

Probably where their crowds are so small now they are trying to double the amount they make form programme sales hoping people will buy one of each.

Hope they go down

Sadly I would buy both otherwise it just wouldn't be a complete set in my eyes.
