Football Programmes Centre

Quite a few years ago I purchased the collection of a man who had collected in the 1950's as a child. The collection lay dormant for many decades.

A copy of this programme was included without a ...

no programme done for Republic of Ireland at Wembley in November 2020. However there was an official teamsheet.

I would assume teamsheets were done for all games as the media were admitted.

I haven't been since before COVID. However the couple of times I was there you could get a teamsheet from the reception area on the elft as you walk to the pitch with the covered stand. Not sure if ...

Cork Celtic definitely issued v Bohemains.
Limerick definitely issued v Cork Hibs.
Almost certainly nothing for Shamrock Rovers v Drumcondra.

As Sean said Drogheda issued for 63/64. However it i ...

thanks

It would be incredibly rare if it exists. Do others exist from the period? Dinamo Zagreb in the next round?

I can't help with anything. Does a programme exist for Steau v Derry City 1964? I've never seen one.

How do we make a distinction between pirate programmes and fanzines that were specific to a match?

For example, in 93-94 I think West Ham did a fanzine-type programme called “Home Alone, The Peop ...

They were still being sold at games in the Republic of Ireland well into the 1980's.

The main source of these was a guy who had a printing press near Tolka Park. Some are very collectable now and ...

Sad news RIP

Benfica publish a newspaper rather than a magazine and one of these contains references to the more recent Europa cup game. They are official club publications, one does exist I believe for the 61 sem ...

Thanks interesting read.

Nothing for Finland v Republic of Ireland so presumably the same for England.

Greece was digital only.

There were a very small number of traditional tickets in Finland for RoI but it appears a ...

They appeared to be wise to ticket collectors. Those claiming to have lost phones etc were made wait until 5 minutes before KO. A friend witnessed a Chinese couple have a genuine issue and they actu ...

There is nothing known for any of those. I think it is unlikely anything was done but wouldn't be certain.

The Waterford one has been known about here for amny many years. It is very rare.

I'm pretty sure they are only sold outside. However as you say might be tricky for away fans particularly if a significant security presence.

Cheers lads. We haven't been to Galway or Waterford yet. I don't count the electronic version at Sligo, or elsewhere! Wink

I think the Shels fan issue was only a one-off charity special for the ...

I believe there is still an official digital Sligo Rovers issue.

Galway still issue I believe.

There is a fans issue produced for Shelbourne games as well.

From the first division

I've come across a St Pats programme from 1949. Second round of FAI Cup. Are there any earlier issues?

The earliest home issue I'm aware of is v Shelbourne FAI Cup March 1949.

I'd be a lot more confident now that nothing was issued in 1982 although maybe never certain.

No Irish media or fans travelled back then. Most players never really bothered and unless some were ...
