If Blantyre Vics can do this with about 100 fans, why can't we? Virtually ever other club produced highlights from the League Cup. Dundee United strangely only do interviews.

Would you consider bringing back the match programme? As an example of what can be done, take a look at Montrose and Albion Rovers' programmes. Montrose's is award winning. It seems we aren't doing an online version either. Fine by me as these are no use to someone who wants a memento of a game as they're usually gone a week later.

You could also look into an Accies Lottery. Many clubs of all sizes do this. Johnstone Burgh's current jackpot is £2050 for example. Airdrie's current prize is £5,500. Bo'ness United's is £1,100. All worth winning and would generate plenty of interest among fans.

Boness is probably a bad example - they seem to do their best not to pay out. Linlithgow Rose paid out £1700 on Sunday. Jackpot back down to £700 for this week.

Suspect a printed programme is not cost effective these days. Much could be put on the Club's website IF prepared in advance but we know that even Accie's 'new' website has missed information since re-launch.

Blantyre Vic's YouTube game coverage puts us to shame. Agreed! But it will again come down to resources/willing volunteers availability.

Our new owner will have greater & more immediate priorities in ensuring there's regular cash flow to keep us operating, if there is any truth in the Record's Ronnie McDonald article about his time in charge.

Stick to the basics for the time being, Serif, until the financial picture is clear, and any spiders have crawled out of any rocks uncovered since take-over.

How do Montrose, Albion Rovers and others manage to do a cost effective programme? Ours lost money because it was dreadful. A pamphlet. Incidentally, Vics programme, the two I've bought at their matches anyway, were better. Not counting the recent friendly.
