About 450 home and 250 away Dundalk programmes. Maybe 100 or so Ireland internationals, 100 or so Irish in Europe. About 600 Liverpool home and away, and probably another 500 or so that don't fit into any of those categories! Plus a couple of hundred books etc. Luckily I have a study/library to myself in my new house (and an understanding wife)!

1729 Peterborough homes for 1st team, reserves and Youth since 1952 - got all League, FA Cup and League Cup game since 1960/61

1578 Peterborough aways as above - I'm 64 short of all since 1960/61

43 others, mainly testimonials involving Posh players!

It now starts to get expensive on getting some of the old Posh away programmes!

but never got round to counting them,

Also got about 3000 other programmes picked up from auctions etc. mainly Scottish, especially Morton for some reason.
Scotland Internationals, i've most programmes home & away since mid 70's
and European finals - mostly Champs league/european cup since 1959

My Orient collection so far.....

1,382 homes
642 aways

Home fixtures from 1960/61 season to our last home game in all comps still need...

1960's 40
1970's 21
1980's 13
1990's 20
2000's 95
2010's 23

plenty of aways left but the search goes on! .As for our pre war games when we were known as Clapton Orient the expense puts me off until i can go back to the mid 50's and the search gets harder
..Still dream of the box full in someones attic although most of our lofts didnt make it past 1940!

Not sure of exact numbers, but I only really collect Wolves programmes from 57/58 which is when I started watching them every week.
I need about 200 or so aways to be complete and just Orient 62/63 at home to be complete.
I also have most friendlies in this period also, many of which are quite rare now.
I do have many earlier than this back to 46/7 but they are just bits and pieces that I dont count as my 'collection'.
I also have a few hundred that are non-Wolves games and a couple of hundred non-league games mainly midlands clubs from the 80s and 90s.

My collection currently stands at 1034. It's made up of West Ham home and aways, Kettering Town from the 70s, and numerous issues from other non-League games; the latest being Chorley v Nantwich in the FA Cup recently. I don't keep a diary so this is the next best thing - a tangible momento of times and places. You can even tell what the weather was like on a matchday (the Notts County v West Ham issue on Jan 2 1984 is a prime example of this.) I'm two programmes short of a lifetime collection - so to speak - and am scouring the planet for Kettering v Corby (NSC Final 1975-76) and Kettering v Dunstable (PSF 1976-77). I'm also seeking out West Ham reserve issues from games my dad took me to in 1969-70. Any info on these, and the Kettering programmes would be gratefully received.

I guess my collection centres around 2 main areas - Derby H/A and non-league one-per-club.

Got them on a series of Excel s/sheets so, at the last count, I had the following (though still a lot of unopened mail to get through as and when)

Derby homes: 1,765
Derby aways: 1,841
Derby reserve homes: 357
Derby reserve aways: 322
Non-lge: 2,223 clubs (UK only)

Lots of other "little" collections as well, FA Amateur Cup finals, Northampton 65/66, L/Orient 62/63, Carlisle 74/75 etc etc........not to mention the boxfuls of 70s odds + ends I picked up as a youth from the likes of Steve Earl & Pete Butcher! (didn't we all?)
Are those guys still on the go?

Collecting progs does take up a lot of space - but try combining it with record collecting Smile

Great to se another Kettering collector on here , may be you can help me re my "wants list" covering seasons 75/76 & 76/77.
I have sent you a PM.
