They use extra content as a sweetener to buy the online version, then upset subscribers who don't get that content in the paper one. It's still heavily in favour of paper issues though.
I think City will make a fair bit of money on them next season if we go up, but they have to improve on the current one. I think most clubs would see a drop in revenue if they only issued online, but some smaller clubs may see it as a costly burden, and there would be even less content, or maybe no programme at all, paper or online.
Leyton Orient, when they had the mad owner, used to issue a single, folded sheet full of adverts juts to comply with the rules.
