Do they still produce the Southern Boot?

I'm over from Perth on the weekend and was wondering whether the Southern Boot programme is still being printed.

They do a Grand Final program, but that is it.

Footyweb/Sportingpulse/Fox Sports Pule/SportsTG killed it off, sales dropped to 4-5 a week at each game as people could now get the team lists on their phone.

After Grae retired, successive editors gradually reduced content down to next to nothing other than the team listings and some offensive jokes so very few were willing to pay $4 a week.

Thanks for that. Used to visit Grae every time I visited Adelaide and buy a handful of them.
Leagues in cities or city fringes seem to have more trouble with their viability than in the country nowadays (a nationwide trend), probably due to the internet.
