The football programme is a part of the fabric of the matchday experience - a tradition that goes way back to the sport of football's roots in the 19th century.

From one sheet programmes depicting the assumed team-lines and matchday officials the programme has evolved to become in every term of the word - a magazine.

The regular features in the matchday programme are as follows:
