Rushden & Diamonds/Norwich City collector now onboard :)

[Diamond Matt]

How the hell have I not found this forum before?

Firstly a bit about me.. I'm 19 years old from Rushden, Northants. Family originated from Norfolk which is the reasoning beind my two clubs. I am in my first year at the University of Huddersfield studying Sports Journalism

Big programme collector. I have most Norwich home programmes since 1960. Not got around to updating my list for a while due to coming to Uni.

I went on strike from buying the Rushden programmes for a few years as the were crap. So sort of gave up on the completing them. I buy away programmes all the while though pretty much

I'm part of a family run football programme business so may be able to help out a lot with some wants. Obviously harder for me due to being away from the stock, to know if we have them though.

Areas I collect consist of 'Firsts & Lasts', Norwich and Rushden and Diamonds

Welcome! I would have thought as a student you may have been protesting somewhere! Which programme selling family are you from?

'Grandstand Programmes' is the company name, 'dd015' on eBay.

I don't get involved with all that stuff. I'm a sensible student :p

I don't think there's anything wrong with protesting, as long as it's done in the right manner. I'm a teacher and have quite a few sixth form students looking to go to uni, the fees that they may have to pay are exorbitant. Just think how many rare Man U programmes you could buy with 3 years worth of fees!

I don't think Derby have played R&D many times, I have an away friendly programme from a few years back but I think that may be it.

There was a lot of talk that the people causing all that trouble in London weren't actually University Students. Huddersfield took a few coaches full down for it.

I wouldn't intend on spending any of the money on Man Utd programmes though

Surely Huddersfield is a made-up University.

Considering how much it costs to travel to football matches by coach nowadays who actually paid for it?

I am from Higham. Thought Rushden was more 'well-known' which was why I said that.. I mentioned you to dad, and he thinks you bought something off us on eBay about a week ago. haha
