Unusual for there to be no game against Derby. Do you think one might eventually be arranged?

No that's the lot,we're not even playing the traditional game at Matlock Town for the first time in 20 years.

just got back from Posh v UCD and Shelbourne. Fantastic couple of days in a great great city!

One small gripe - Went to buy a programme from the UCD game and some lovely Irish collector had bought the last dozen programmes to sell on ebay. It meant some of us who had travelled over to watch Posh in Dublin didn't manage to get a programme. Surely if we put in that much effort to go to the game we should have first dibs at the programmes? Fortunately i managed to get one as a kind UCD fan gave me his. Apparently they only printed 40

I will be at the Leamington v Leicester City Friendly next Friday, anyone interested in a programme from the game (Providing they do one) send me a PM, programme will be at face value with post/packing at cost.

No idea who got the last 12. I got the first 7 and another Irish collector got the next 4. I doubt he is even on ebay. They are for other collectors here apart from one I have on ebay. Hope the other 12 don't go up before sunday night.

Programmes were on sale until at least 15 minutes before kickoff. Most were sold to Posh fans from what I can tell. I was standing near the hut chatting to someone.

What do you expect UCD to do? Do Posh keep programmes back solely for away fans who arrive close to kickoff.

The printrun was probably 50 btw. There were a few freebies for media and teams but probably not too many.

Glad you enjoyed your trip and got a programme anyway.

Do you know what sort of a print run bohemians will do,by the looks of the map Iam about 3 mins from the ground so might get down there early.

[garyspain]

Bohs should be no problem. I would still plan to arrive early maybe even go up and buy them and put them back in your hotel. However they most likely won't sellout. They also have a black and white photocopied teamsheet and a nice colour ticket.

For any Birmingham or Aston Villa fans Shamrock Rovers are selling out for most games this season. Athlone have been selling out a lot in recent seasons but I don't know re this season.

Bray, Shelbourne and Cork City should be fine. I'm struggling with Waterford but no problem if you are there.

3 on ebay and 2 of them being sold by a Posh collector, they will probably do a reprint anyway

Athlone are selling out again this season Gary. Very small print runs. If you need a contact in Waterford I will see what I can do their Media Officer usually looks after us when Harps play down there.

[garyspain]

Thanks Harps.

No programme produced for Shelbourne v Ipswich today. Ipswich would not release their squad names.

BTW a small update on Bohs. I don't expect them to sellout but there may be a problem if you try to buy more than ten.

[garyspain]

Another update. As I said no programme for Shelbourne v Ipswich just a black an dwhite press teamsheet.

No programme or press teamsheet or ticket for St James's Gate v MK Dons.

No programme produced by Shamrock Rovers for tonight's friendly v Birmingham City. Big disappointment here as quite a decent crowd. There was a ticket and a back and white photocopied press teamsheet.

Hats off to the Birmingham fan/collector who sent his wife off to get the teamsheet. She did. They are the hardest club here to get a teamsheet from. It is easily photocopied though.

[cychris]

Nothing issued for Union Berlin v Dundee Utd,although they will
be issuing for Fridays match v Celtic(doubling up as the UB season
guide).Progs issued for Swansea's matches in Holland at 'S-Gravenzande & Excelsior Maassluis(on ebay already)

3 more friendlies have been added to Blackpool's pre-season schedule.

One of them is a behind closed doors game against an as yet unnamed league 2 side - my guess would be Fleetwood or Morecambe

Updated list

Penrith away 6th July - 40 page programme but no teamsheets
Private friendly against League 2 side - venue not known
Kendal away 16th July
Witton Albion away 18th July
York away 20th July
Bury away 23rd July
Newcastle home 28th July

I'm going to both Bristol and Sheffield Alex , the only thing is I am going on a different supporters bus than my own so don't really know what time I will get to the ground

I will pick up extra programmes if I can from both matches and let you know right away what I have

[kpswannie]

Should have said that I am going to Dens park as well , will get you one if you need me to
