Boxing Day programme

Did you know that if prices for everyday items had risen at the same rate as tickets to watch football, we would be paying an average of £8.85 for a pint? And that’s not even London prices.

That is one of the shocking stats included in a piece featured in the Boxing Day matchday programme, about how football prices have risen since the Hillsborough disaster of 1989 and how the report from Lord Justice Taylor, which stated that seats should cost £6 was totally ignored.

We also have a Where are they now? article concentrating on the undoubtedly talented and often infuriating Rory Patterson, as well as a Christmas quiz to keep some level of festivities present.

We have the latest branch introducing themselves, Meet the owners and the extended away team section that has been well received this season.

Usual great pictures, match reports, news and stats are included as always. All for £2.

If anyone is interested in volunteering to sell the programme on matchdays and is over 16, please email programme@fc-utd.uk.
