'An important part of football history'published at 10:39 British Summer Time 1 May 2018
So this topic is up for debate because some EFL clubs want to stop printing match programmes.
It is currently a requirement for clubs to produce a programme for each game but that could change with a vote planed for June.
However clubs could still choose to publish a programme regardless.
League Two club Mansfield Town's chief executive Carolyn Radford told the Guardian, external the Stags would continue to print regardless of the outcome.
“We’d always have a programme because it’s a voice from the club to the fans and it’s something some people keep religiously,” she said.
“It’s part of the fabric of the club and an important piece of memorabilia, a collector’s item. I know we’re moving more online, but it’s different having something to hold.
“It costs us more to produce than it raises, so I can see commercially why some clubs would want to get rid and I think if it was no longer compulsory a lot of clubs, particularly in the lower leagues, would drop out. But it’s still an important part of football’s history.”
