Spent an hour yesterday at an antique fair in a hotel in the posh part of Aberdeen. Looking for an old chess set but no luck.
Anyway, the dealer right at the back had a big boxful of Aberdeen homes r ...

Subscribed to the Derby issue which arrives here on the Monday after a Sat game.
Nice publication - 52 pages for £3 and not many adverts either.

I did all 92 between 1980 and 1983.
Very glad I did too - never occurred to me that so many would be for the chop in the not too distant future.
Took photos too.

Could someone post up the link to the other forum where the Prediction League posts are made, please?

My PC died on me this week after 15 years faithful service and one of many things I've lost is ...

No idea. I think dropping the printed catalogue was a mistake.

There's a site somewhere on the internet which catalogues gravestones which have been playing the same trick down the years.
Usually final messages to scheming ex-wives or ex-husbands.
And presumabl ...

I'm of the opinion that collecting isn't ever a conscious choice, it's a gene or something inside you that you're born with.

Yes, I would wholeheartedly agree with you there and I've read an acade ...

Sounds very interesting - can't see anything on the link to facilitate ordering a copy, though.
If you care to drop me a PM I'd appreciate it.

Steve Earl rarely, if ever, had Mansfield programmes on his catalogue. Accordingly, Mansfield were, for a wee while, the only one of the 92 clubs I didn't have an issue for.

Stuck in traffic this morning due to the interminable roadworks in Aberdeen, I got thinking about my childhood and how, at the age of 11, I decided "programme collecting was for me".

But ...

Slightly a side observation but i think post war programme cover awards for design for me are Grimsby Town 1946-7 & 1947-8 with the trawer bring in the fish all with the opposing teams names on in ...

I also loved the small Arsenal, Chelsea and West Ham United efforts, with a lot of information inside.

And no adverts. I doubt the clubs even then would have turned down that revenue atream so it m ...

Can do you Derby if you want

Was looking through some of the offerings from clubs Derby have played over the last few years and, depressed at the generally crap standard, I ditched that idea and dug out a box of early 70s odds an ...

Downside? One of the vendors there I am sorely tempted to be very critical of - but what's the point. Nothing to be gained. I know who not to deal with in future. Perhaps he thought I was new to the ...

Spent an interesting couple of hours there yesterday. Picked up a few Scottish non-league clubs I hadn't got an issue from.

Excellent display of old Aberdeen memorabilia which I spent probably far ...

I'll pop along. Looking forward to it.
Be good to meet any forum members who might also be there?

Having issues remaining logged in on this site - using Google Chrome on my laptop (Windows 11). If I clear the cache and cookies it resolves the problem, but have to do this every day. I'm typing this ...

Looks like Leon Leuty (Derby) to me.

Hi Steve,

Are you pretty sure about this as was there not a badge on the Derby shirt, but if you are convinced......

If it is Derby County then in 1947-8 ...
