This has come from programme monthly and is no way my creation, any credit for the questions should be directed towards programme monthly.
Here is my answers....
AGONY - Your Worst Buy?
None as yet, hopefully!
BARGAIN - What was your best deal?
A selection of early sixties Leeds programmes from a guy on eBay, asked for wants lists I replied and got a good deal.
CAREER - How do you earn a living?
ICT Lecturer at a local college
DAMN & BLAST - What's your biggest regret in collecting?
Possibly not buying rarer issues at the beginning of collecting, this would have saved a few quid
EARLIEST ISSUE - What was yo ur first programme?
Possibly Ashford Town v Charlton 1989/90 pre season friendly from the opening of Ashford's new stadium. First Leeds one was Leeds v Wolves 1989/90
FAMILY - Anyone to inherit your collection?
Nope, only the better half, she knows that there must be a few quid within them as she sends how much I spend on them
GET A LIFE -What are your interests outside of programme collecting?
Well, supporting Leeds and my local team Ashford Town. Playing pool at least 2 times a week for different teams. Representing one league at interleague level, county trials next month
HAPPY - What are the best aspects of the hobby?
Must be 95% of the people involved, this site is also a big positive for the hobby.
IF I RULED THE WORLD - What are your collecting ambitions?
To complete Leeds homes back to the war, although this could be expensive. You never know....
JOURNEY'S END - What will happen to your collection in the future?
will keep it and keep adding to it until needs outway pleasure!
KEEP IT CLEAN - How do you store your programmes?
Issues back to 1991-92 in ring binders with polly pockets and card to keep straight, the more recent issues are kept on a shelf in season stacks. Nightmare!
LUCKY BREAK - What was your biggest boost to your collection?
again the eBay guy and a rather large order from Brentside programmes.
MEMORIES - Which programme has the most significance?
Leeds v Notts County 1991/92 season, first home game with the old man.
NEVER A DULL MOMENT - What's the biggest change you have seen in the hobby?
without a shadow of doubt, eBay. Not necessarily a bad thing for a computer geek like me!
OLDEST - What's your oldest programme?
I have a few Leeds 1947/48 season programmes.
PRE-WAR - Do you have any of note?
Nope!! Need them 6 numbers first
QT - You can whisper if you like, but who do you get your programmes from?
eBay, Michael Hewitt, Brentside (not so much nowadays), Ashford Town club-shop, I now subscribe with Kick-Off programmes for all home and away games - Phil, Simon and Dave are top quality guys and have been a massive influence on my collecting.
RAREST - Which is your rarest item?
Hard to pick one... maybe 1973 Cup Winners Cup Final, 1959/60 Birmingham pp game, maybe even the 1947/48 homes.
SUPPORTER - Leeds United and local side Ashford Town
THE PITS - What are the worst aspects of the hobby?
Greed!
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES - Which programme will you never sell?
Currently no Leeds homes that I only have 1 copy of, but if needs must etc
VARIETY IS THE SPICE OF LIFE - Any other football or collecting interests?
Nope, just about get away with programmes, missus wouldn't allow any more 'clutter' (her words)
WHEW! - What was the most expensive programme you have ever bought?
World Cup Final 1966, sold it for a bit more though. Other than that the 1973 Cup Winners Cup Final at over the 100 quid mark
X-FILES - Let us into the secret, how did you build up your collection?
At the beginning I picked up modern issues from the club shop at ATFC then started getting more serious at about 400 homes. This is when a massive order from Brentside was made to fill the gaps. I then stumbled across eBay and Michael Hewitt. Started subscribing with kick-off from around 2003.
YOUTHFUL ISSUES - What's your opinion of modern issues?
Look good, have the occasional readable article in, too expensive, repetitive, and a bugger to store!! Expensive!!
ZZZZZ - What's the one programme you dream of possessing? 1961-62 league cup home against Rotherham, seen on offers lists at a grand!!
Be good to see what other people state in their answers, please remember this feature came from programme monthly.
