Still haven't had my initial one yet!

[Wullie]

It is all a bit odd to me. Clubs take great pride when they are given an award by the Northern Prigramme Club. But who the hell are they ? It could be just some bloke who should get out more for all we know.
The fact that they don't have a website for me seems a poor outfit in todays world.
Which brings me an idea. Why not the Football Programme Centre annual awards as voted for by forum members. Surely these awards would come with more clout than others as there are so many members from all over the country on here.
It would take some organising, but don't ask me. I can't be arsed

Spelling police spell check, Wullie!

[Wullie]

sorry i can't be arsed to spell check either . i am overworked, knacked and now i can't accept any tips because it may be a bribe. Of course if i sat on my butt all day like those students at Ruskin , my spelling and grammer would be much betterer. merry christmas

[Auchinleckian]

You can still accept bribes (sorry, tips) up to the value of £34. Can't think of anyone I know who'd tip, let alone that much!

[Wullie]

As a programme collector, you would all do well to bribe , sorry i mean tip the postman. Would hate to see a DO NOT BEND envelope become, eh, bent . And your letter needs a signature and you are at work ? No problems, know what i mean ? wink wink

[Tynie Topics]

So have we established yet if the mag is still being produced?

No, but we have established that Wullie's a postie not to be meddled with
More power to your black economy pal!

[Wullie]

google "Northern programme club" almost every team in the country has won an award from them at some time or other, but can you find any details about the club ? NO...... untill now. I have found their website.

Well they still seem to be dishing out the awards;

No No Partick Thistle won http://www.ptfc.co.uk/news/201.....rd_winners , not Hearts. Hearts got best editor in the Scotttish Prem. Not sure who won the best staple award or best advert award yet.

[Wullie]

Barnsley won best in August. http://www.barnsleyfc.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10309~2455314,00.html \ Scunthorpe won http://www.scunthorpe-united.co.uk/page/Advertising/0,,10442~1034633,00.html an award.
Bournemouth got two ( Greedy) http://www.afcb.co.uk/page/NewsDetail/0,,10324~2296476,00.html
This is better than the Oscars.
I think they should go back in time and hand awards out posthumously.

The thing is, they do/did actually produce a pretty good full colour magazine that I would have subscribed to if they actually took the time to promote it.

it is a shame as they are obviously passionate about football programmes, but they seem stuck in the 1980s and don't want to move with the times. They seem very secretive or else i detect i bit of snobbery, which is very common in the collecting world in general.
