Not on the website but recall newsletter saying that a 'Review of the season' will be available shortly after end of season. So I don't think we'll ever get a yearbook covering 2010/11 season.

I recall something similar Stu F. I believe they said the review would replace the yearbook.

What a shame. I've got them going back .... well, too many years for me to admit to. Isn't there even going to be one for sale? They're missing a money raising opportunity.

This use to be something to look forward to as the season progressed and you reflected on the efforts of the previous season. A bit of a loss in my honest opinion.

Both the badge & the yearbook were actually relatively new ST benefits.

I think the yearbook was only introduced from around 2002/03 onwards? (I'm sure someone will correct me but I can't check my own as I am at work & the books are not!)

As for the badge, I think they were only produced for 4 seasons (maybe 5?)

Therefore neither is a truly long-running ST benefit & many ST holders never bothered to pick up either their yearbooks or badges. There were thousands of yearbooks left over every season & I think one of the storage rooms under the old Next Stand had loads of boxes of unclaimed yearbooks that were ultimately thrown out when the CAT was built!

At the end of the day, ST holders paid for the "free" books/badges in their ST package price & I expect that many fans would far rather have ST prices as they are now than have slightly higher ST prices with a "free" book & badge. I know I would at least.

My season ticket(s x2)for 2011/12 went down by £80 per ticket per year so if I don't get a yearbook and a badge, fine with me, no complaints.

With £160 in my pocket I can always choose to by merchandise .... and a good deal more than a badge and a yearbook.

The yearbook was always a costly exercise, not a moneymaker. there had to be enough printed, but there were always a number left unclaimed :-(

ST prices are what count in today's financial climate.
