Wycombe Wanderers have confirmed that matchday programmes will cease after this weekend’s match against Bolton Wanderers.
The souvenir, BluePrint, has been printed for every home match so far this season (including the friendly against Leicester City in July) and the EFL Trophy matches against the Aston Villa U23s and Burton Albion), will instead be available to read online.
In a statement that was published on November 11, the club revealed: “Next Saturday’s edition of BluePrint (vs Bolton Wanderers) will actually be our last.
“As a club, we are committed to moving further into the digital world and have some exciting plans to deliver our best-ever digital experience to our supporters, while continuing our journey towards having a paperless stadium, playing our part in the global sustainability efforts.”
