I believe the No.23 is still on the back of every Man City home programme stating 'Retired in remembrance of Marc Vivien Foe' and this is something I believe we should do instead of just leaving it blank. I don't think we'd need programmes for the youth team this forthcoming season, though?

No we wouldn't, and I'm not sure we have to do a programme for the UCL either, although I imagine we would probably want to. I think it's a very good idea to do the same as Man City for our number 1 shirt.

There's been a website going around recently to help Non-League Programme Editors in which articles are posted by journalists/bloggers etc that can be used. It's only in its early stages but once this next season develops and it gets used, I'm sure the following season it will be a big success. With current circumstances, I would be willing to help with our programme. However, it is best to see how things go before committing for something in 12+months time.

I'll still bring the banner along aswell.

Not at all, I think it's a terrific idea.
