Your collection in 2009

[crowdedhouse]

Hi foxes1,

If you're going along to the MK Dons game, would you pick up a programme for me, that would be great!

The current record attendance at Sixfields is 7,557 for a Northampton v Manchester City Division 2 game played on 26 Sept 1998. Sixfield Stadium capacity is 7,653 which means it's a tough record to beat (95 or less empty seats!). Ironically, having recently just signed a new 150-year lease on the Sixfields site, Northampton have revealed plans to expand the stadium to a 15,000 all-seater capacity with extensions to the North, East & South stands, the addition of executive boxes to the West stand and the building of a hotel complex behind the South stand. This is a 5-year development due to start Summer 2009.

The all-time record attendance for a 'home' game at Northampton was 24,523 at the old County Ground on 23rd April 1966 for the Division 1 (yes, Premier League!) clash against Fulham. Can't see that ever being broken.

Are you still interested in a prog from the MK Dons v Leic game looks like they are expecting an attendance of approx 19000. Cost will be face value plus whatever post/packing will be. Get back to me before tomorrow morning I will be at the game and leaving Leic at 10.45 Sat morning..

Hi foxes1,

If you could pick up a programme for me that would be great. Have a good day and if you get the 3 points that should almost guarantee Championship footy next season.

Cheers mate !

Last Years Posting back again,

Well everyone, look back at 2009 - How Did Your Collection get on?

Take a look at your postings in January and did your New Year resolutions come true?

Mine? Well I'm still looking to complete both Post -War record attendance and All-seater record attendance collections. Still havn't added Scottish teams yet as those pesky English programmes still keep appearing and sapping my pocket money. Have started picking up Football League Trophy winning run programmes but unsure whether to continue this theme.

Happy 2010 everyone !!!!

I didn't post last year, but I've had a fantastic year with my collection.

I set off only back in July needing approximately 60.

I had a brilliant run in September and October finding my wants on Ebay at will and I've got my list down to approximately 20 wants.

Of that 20, I know for sure 8 exist, but there might not be programmes for the others.

If I can find 1 per month in 2010 I'll be well happy.


Jim

Having sold off all my non Boston Utd programmes, roughly 1500, I just concentrated on collecting any Boston programme that i needed.
Decided to only collect pre 2007, none after that as i have no affination to modern day programmes, especially non league ones!

I completed the whole 5 year programme collection from the league,which then drastically made the decision to sell them due to a lack of funds. Luckily they didn't make reserve, went to uni and have left them all in the loft at home.

Not sure what to do this year, as I am currently at uni, i'm not sure what programmes i need, so I am going to collect programmes from pre 1970, as I have only 20 or so. After uni finishes i can start filling in the gaps from pre 2002.
