So hopefully will file a small report on the London fair on my return.

I was about 80th in line at 10:30am when the doors flew open.

Hello to Steve the millwall follower

I am only guessing it might have been a final attendance of approx 150 at 11:30am.

I do have some photos of the event.

If some one can guide me how to upload them,I'll put them on the site.

If any one is unhappy with the photo's or objects to any of them,I'll remove them

Thanks

Or if you can see this programme, just go to the Tinypic site, upload photos, and copy+paste the 2nd link of every photo (IMG Code for Forums & Message Boards) in your post. Before you upload them, make sure you resize them to fit the screen.

I spotted you there Matt, in fact I was probably standing beside you at one of the stalls, although given I've been in London for the last 3 days and had little net access, I haven't read this before now.

Didnt pick-up too much, a 63 Wimbledon v Sutton Amateur Cup Final for £7.50, 4 Hearts early 60's that I needed for £1 each, a book and a few other bits, £30 total spend I think!

Pity there isn't more Scottish representation at the Fair, given there's very few organised in Scotland these days.

Enjoyable hour spent wandering around though, and some nice old programmes available, while the better half went for a coffee lol!

You should of said hello there wasn't a huge amount there for me either, it was interesting to see some of the items and laughable at some of the prices - but hey people have to make a living.

I picked up a few early 50s cardiff programmes

A stunning example on chris's (sportingold) stand 1913 cardiff against luton in near mint, didnt buy it though, slightly out of my price range.

I would have done if I had known it was you! only clicked when I read this

As for prices, the 63 Amateur Cup Final was on one stall for £15, and another (where I bought it) for £7.50, there were also some "surprising" prices for some items. I honestly thought dealers would price programmes slightly more keenly to generate sales at these events.

I went to the fair. Didn't find anything I need, but I know the ones I need are quite rare, so wasn't expecting much anyway.
