Dick Rattray's website has announced his immediate retirement:
https://dickrattrayfootballprogrammes.com/
I have dealt with Dick many times over the years and always received excellent programmes and service.
Not so long ago Sports Programmes closed down. We are all getting older, I do wonder what the average age of serious collectors is?
With ageing collectors and clubs no longer publishing how long before the hobby disappears? |

I consider myself one of the younger collectors / part-time dealers at 44, what about everyone else ? _________________ www.programmehut.com - The Internet Dealers

I suspect the average age on here is higher than you'd find on the many Facebook collecting groups so maybe not be the best way to judge how old collectors are these days |

Sad to see him go but what great service over so many years.
Has he cleared all of his stock or is any available does anyone know? |
