Been collecting City programmes for well over 20 years now and still as keen as ever - Have well over 2000 in my collection which boasts 58 completed Home & Away seasons from 1965/66 to the current 2008/09 season, in all competions.

Which I keep stored in the old style club binders.

A few highlights from my collection has to be the Sept 1989 Manchester Derby in which City beat Utd 5-1, I have it signed by the whole team and subs that day and spent me years tracking down the players and sending it off to each one to sign.

Colin Bell, Paul Lake, Paul Power, Alex Williams, Tony Book, Tommy Booth testimonial signed programmes.

And the Championship winning season of 1967-68 as have every game home & away,friendlies and postponed games.

Buy mostly from eBay and various programmes sites - Dread to think what the postman thinks !!

I’m currently working on completing all City aways from 1970 onwards and just 46 programmes short from having a full set of Home & Aways from all competions dating 65/66 to 07/08.

I will then start on the early seasons after that

Hi. Just registered at the site. Looks like it could be really useful.

I have a collection of about 8500 items, built up over about 35 years, mostly Glasgow Rangers and St.Mirren.

I produced "A Collector's Guide to St.Mirren Home and Away Programmes 1946/47 - 1990/91" in 1991.

I have updated and revised the Guide on my recently established web site at www.derek-drennan.co.uk and have also reproduced a number of programme related articles which I wrote in the 1980's and 1990's.

Always willing to discuss programme-related topics and investigate queries related to Rangers and St.Mirren.

Look forward to hearing from other members.

Derek

I'm a Dundee United collector who started at the age of 10 (13 years ago) with just the homes from games I attended but since then I have concentrated on United's Cup Final's, Semi Final's and all the European programmes.

Over the last year I've decided to expand and also collect United homes and aways from the present to as far back as I can. Think the oldest one I have at the moment is from 60/61 (so not particularly old) but in the years ahead I hope to get further back than that. However, still got hundreds of gaps to fill in elsewhere in the collection before I worry about going back too far! Currently trying to complete the 80's and 90's, still got a bit to go, particularly with the away ones.

Also collect Scottish Cup and Scottish League Cup Finals. Got most of each from the last 30 years but the further back you get the more gaps I have.

However, plenty years ahead to keep building and after a mad spending spree earlier this year I'm slowly learning to try and control my spending a bit more, particularly with Xmas pressies currently getting in the way!! Biggest lesson I've learnt this year is that I shouldn't just dive in for the first copy of a programme I come across and end up spending more than necessary. The programme will ALWAYS come up again at some point so just wait until the time is right!

Well, I did start to post on the last site.....this is my first post on here. Hopefully I'll find many more opportunities to contribute in the future!

Arabest folks.

Just found this site following a post from a Swansea fan on pasoti...cheers for the info..looks useful.

I am a second time around collector having sold first collection aged 25 and am collecting Argyle first team pre 1960 ( space and can persuade wife its like a pension!) plus reserves and friendlies from any season.

I also have a garage full of other programmeswhich i sell from time t time on ebay so if you have a wants list post 1970 ( predominantly) then let me know and I'll see what i can do...I am very good on Grimsby ( go figure!) and Watford for some reason. because I am exiled and buy what i need I am actaully not that good for Plymouth stuff...ut have a few bits.

I do have 1936/7 Plymouth v Villa and 1939/40 Millwall v Plymouth as duplicates so any offers for those welcome....

Also cigarette cards!

Look forward to some useful contacts....

Arite mate,

Haven't got my list to hand at the moment but I'm sure I'm looking for Clydebank v United for the 2nd game at Kilbowie for 95/96. First game was in September so I'm guessing the 2nd match would be around February time?

Cheers

I got a few parts to my collection, which is:

Spurs (Homes/Aways/Reserves - lge/cup/friendlies/teamsheets/ex spurs) currently just short of 4800 programmes

Gillingham (Homes/Aways - lge/cup/friendlies just short of 2800)

Cup Finals & Semi Finals (FA/Lge Cup/European/Kent around 500)

Maidstone (Home/Aways - lge/cup/friendlies over 700)

Man United Homes 92/93 to present

Arsenal Homes 92/93 to present

English homes in European competitions (Intertoto/UEFA/ECWC/EC/CL around 300)

Ice Hockey (Programmes/jerseys/autographs/pennants/pucks/dvds/other commemorative gifts0 around 3000 items)

[kcs]

After 'signing up' to the site a few days ago thought I would have a count of what I have...

I collect Leeds homes predominantly but have just started to buy aways in complete season format and have a several complete seasons now.

I try to collect all first team home games regardless of the competition and am missing just 7 homes going back and including the 1958/59 season. (League, European, FA and League Cup). I am sure there are a few West Ridings programmes missing too.

The homes I am missing include the following;

1958/59 Birmingham City
1959/60 Birmingham City, Burnley
1960/61 Charlton Athletic
1961/62 Rotherham (LC), Swansea
1965/66 West Brom (LC)

Would be interested if people have any of the above, West Riding, Reserves homes for sale, also interested in complete away seasons (not necessarily Europeans).
Funds permitting!!!!


The home count is above 1300 now.

The only League game i dont have is Blackburn v Leeds 59/60,been told one dose exsist for this fixture but i do have my doughts. I am a Leeds collecter and can confirm that Blackburn vs Leeds 59/0 does exist. It is dated Wednesday 27 April 1960. It was Rovers final home game before the 1960 Cup Final vs Wolves. Leeds were relegated. Attendance 19,295. The programme is sought after by both Leeds and Blackburn collectors. I sold a spare copy I had 3 years ago for £35.

Finaly picked this one up of Leeds fan (dealer) Mick Hewitt ,did cost me £50 and has T/Cs but utherewise in mint con so well pleased.
