I have approx 330 of them for sale from the 1980s onwards. As many of you will know they are excellent reading. Listed them on eBay. Local collection. If they don't sell has anyone any idea how much postage would be to UK ? I've had an enquiry but don't really want the hassle of posting if possible. They are obviously heavy !!

Depends on the weight.

If up to 10kg look at the Collect Plus website. Arrange online, drop off at a local shop.

They are reasonable, fully tracked and I have never had any problems with them.

Thanks guys. I will look at collectplus if they don't sell.
It would be interesting to know how much number 1 is worth. I have never seen one before

I have just had a wonderful week in sunny Cotswolds and as promised I have put some photos of issue 1 of Programne Monthly from 1981 priced 35p
Has Manchester United review as the front cover.
It has a programme review top of the league programmes marked for different categories such as number of pages, percentage of adverts, pictures, value for money etc
Top 3 in each league were
Div1 Norwich, Aston Villa, Man Utd
Div2 Chelsea Luton Watford / West Ham
Div 3 Reading, Millwall Newport
Div 4 Torquay Southend Stockport Wimbledon
26 pages great read!

Any idea of value?

Nice one Holtie, thanks for sharing.

Somehow "The Ram" manages to finish both 17th and 22nd in the Second Division survey!

Some club must have been omitted.

This thread got me trying to remember how PM was originally marketed - I certainly subscribed from issue 1 - but I can't recollect how the word was spread.

Anyone?

Newport County's "The Amber Note" was voted "Division Three's Top Programme" in 1980/81, but is only 3rd on that list from Feb '81 surprisingly.

Back in the days when Richard Shepherd edited it, it regularly won awards.
