The word 'rare' is much overused in programme selling circles, but I believe that I have one that genuinely fits the bill, but does anybody want it.

The programme is from Northampton Spencer, sadly now defunct, but then in the United Counties league. It is a pre-season programme for 4 games, v North Leigh, Aylesbury, Southam United and the one I went to see, against, the Great Britain Deaf team.

The match was played in 2009 and was a surprisingly competitive one all draw. Most of the GB team appeared to be non-verbal, but still managed to give the referee some fearful stick.

I do not know the attendance, but I have been to games at their Kingsthorpe Mill ground, when a league attendance has been announced as 40 odd and I reckoned they must have included the players. So very few of these 2 page programmes will have found a home and how many kept them?

So, a genuinely rare programme, but does anybody want it? It is available, as is most of my collection, for postage only. This started my non-league interest and I have a number of programmes, mostly from within a 50 mile radius of Northampton. Mostly United counties league, also Spartan South Midland league and others.
I also have a number of Northampton Town programmes, some from the 80's but most from 2006 onwards and a few from other local league teams. Let me know if anyone is interested.

There must be any number of potential unique programmes from tiny print runs for matches between two non-league teams with no collectors. I have 1 or 2 in my collection that I suspect might be one-off but would be more or less worthless.
