THE 2008/09 season will feature a brand-new official matchday programme, with fresh design, content and ideas fit for a new season.

Every single match day at Vicarage Road you can get your copy of the matchday magazine from our sellers in and around Vicarage Road. Either that or subscribe to the magazine up front, by simply clicking here, or calling 0845 880 0805.

Each edition we'll bring you 84 pages of content for just £3, and this year there are less ads and more content for your money.

There's a massive eight page feature with one of your favourite terrace heroes each week, as well as a newly introduced two page feature on Watford international stars. We get to the heart of the dressing room with the Captain's notes from Jay DeMerit, and of course we hear from the Manager Brendan Rodgers, who brings us the very latest news.

We've upped our fans page from one to two, so get sending in your contributions, birthdays and photos to themediateam@watfordfc.com

We've also dedicated eight pages to our work in the community as The Football League's Community Club of the Year. You're always bound to find the very latest ticket and travel news and for those who are slightly more nostalgic, there's an excellent four-page history feature.

Our regular columnists include:

- Manager Brendan Rodgers

- Club Captain Jay DeMerit

- Reserve Team Boss Malky Mackay 

- BBC Three Counties' Jon Marks

- Academy Manager Mark Warburton

- Club Chaplain Clive Ross

The Hornets' Matchday magazine has also been recognised and complimented - and was last season short-listed for 'Best Matchday Programme' at The Football League Awards. Furthermore, independent collectors' magazine 'Programme Monthly' awarded the publication the title of 'Best Design in the Championship'.

In 2006/07 the publication was complimented in Football Programme Directory (FPD) and was also awarded by 'Programme Monthly' with the title of 'Best Design in the Barclays Premiership'.

Furthermore, it has received praise from national community bodies. "Only one club came close to your club's wonderful efforts in promoting their community work in their match programme. Watford's coverage is genuine, widespread and always of interest, and it reflects a very active, worthwhile and wide ranging programme of activities in the community too", Roger Reade (Chief Administrator of FFE & VTS).
