There's discussing the contents and there's posting screenshots and lifting whole sections, so that people have no need to buy it to read it. People get the differences.

In an internet world where everything seems free, some things die off when the exercise becomes pointless.

I don't think I've ever seen anything like that done before. Following MC's interview earlier in the week I posted asking for peoples thoughts and that sort of thread would do exactly what you're saying. I'd suggest people simply being more vigilant when posting threads and add *spoilers* or something, similar to when the news mutt on here posts the Origin write up in every clubs page.

That's kinda what I meant.

Talking about it = good
Posting extracts = bad

Just shows how the cost of producing and printing has plummeted in recent years. As little as 10 years ago even an organisation as rich as the NRL needed all teams to club together to produce a weekly magazine!

To Bren, all mags publish as pdf’s these days so effectively an on line version is already there. The trick is to ensure that one download is for one person. In which case it’s an encrypted pdf or more modern an app. Both take a bit more development, but I assume it will come.

Me personally I like some paper reading matter, much more fun to collect.

Is there a subscription service?

Just been and got my season ticket and I bought the magazine it is well worth the £2

It’s a good little publication. Well laid out and written. Nice posters for the kids in the middle which is something my lad has been wanting for years. He’s also sat reading the player information and if they hopefully put the player stats in for the year then it’ll be a bargain for £2

I’m sure it will be a success, it’s an in house good news story vehicle so no one is expecting Pulitzer nominations but I’m impressed

Just a word of warning. Barnsley FC started a similar, very glossy and classy looking monthly magazine about twelve years ago. Very well produced and interesting as it was, after the euphoria of the first few issues the interest started to dwindle and after about two years it was no more. I'm not a killjoy and I'll be buying my copy for as long as the publication keeps going. I just don't want to happen to Mighty Trin as did the previous venture by Barnsley. Good luck with the venture.

You can now order it on line though I do think the £2 postage is a bit steep! I’ll still buy it because it’s easier than going to town for me but it might be worth looking at the postal price MC

It’s £1.20 second class, I for one can wait 3 days. Just a suggestion
