It was called off on the Friday morning after an early inspection because of the wintry weather, in time for the postponement to be in the papers that afternoon.

Tread warily with Etsy. My wife has been a regular seller on them for years, without too many problems, but recently they have started 'retaining' funds for no obvious reason except for a vague custom ...

It was 1990, surely? The one where Carolina Morace scored four.

The whistles are back! And a different seller this time, ludicrously claiming to be from the 1872 FA Cup final.

A few years back I was working in Paris for six weeks, and spent some of my spare time trawling through the markets for exactly this purpose. Sum total of my search: nothing. Not even overpriced tat. ...

The England v Scotland game at Bournemouth did have a programme, and it was a 2-0 win for England.

The tournament was the annual British Championship for Amateur Youth (Under 18 ) players, which wa ...

Do you think in light of what you have just stated about the buyer there is a case to name and shame? if only to protect others, or perhaps that constitutes something against a thief's civil liberties ...

To wrap this up, the issue has now been resolved and the process took just over a month.

I have just had this message from ebay: "The buyer’s payment institution sided with the buyer. The g ...

An update to my previous post: the purchaser has now responded to say it is not him who has raised the dispute but his credit card company, without his knowledge.

His credit card was hacked and it ...

Thanks for the comments. It's a strange one. I've sent a couple of messages to the buyer asking what is going on - he is a long-term active ebayer with regular sales and purchases. I won't identify hi ...

I had an email from ebay today to tell me that a dispute had just been raised in relation to a programme I sold in February - four months ago!

The reason is stated as 'the buyer didn't recognise th ...

Yes there was, a standard Scottish League programme. The year isn't printed on the cover, which makes it easy to miss.

I'd be surprised if it was a football ground, simply because football tended to be cash admission through turnstiles, and it wasn't normal practice to have ticket windows. The only exception might be ...

That's terrific, thanks very much Gary. There are so few newspaper reports of women's internationals in the 1970s and 1980s that getting info from the programme is a real bonus.

Before the 1976 FAI Cup Final at Dalymount, between Bohemians and Drogheda, there was a women's international between Ireland and Scotland.

Does the match programme have any information about the w ...

It's maybe not as bad as you think. Tickets for hospitality (these were Club Wembley) are often not checked in the same way as you would have at a turnstile.

Also, at any football match there are a ...

That's the advert for the 2019 book.
