As mentioned elsewhere, here is a new thread were members can post old, interesting or unusual adverts from their collection of programmes.

I don't have a lot of time today, but just to start things off, here is an advert from the back cover of the late 30s Blackpool home programmes.

This advertises the Manchester Hotel, still a regular haunt for away fans, and the now defunct brewery of Catterall and Swarbreck.

This advert from the Barnsley 1978-79 programme for the National Coal Board.

The words seem very hollow now - within a few years the industry in the town had all but disappeared

From a 1972/3 West Ham programme, the car as a ten year old I hoped I would one day own. Turned out I had a Viva and then a Marina, both had a vinyl roof though Cool

Ah, a Ford Capri....... back in the 70's a few of us would take it in turns to drive to Palace away games, one bloke had a Capri which was only any good if there were 2 or 3 of us at a pinch. Anyway, I lost contact with the Capri owner till we met up again in 2006 - and he still had the same Ford Capri! I'm seeing him again at Wembley on Sunday - I'll see if he has it a further 10 years down the line.

Not from a programme but "THE KOP" newspaper from 1967. Not very PC, why else would you go to Copenhagen in the 60's?!! Shocked

My Mark 4 Cortina had a vinyl roof which made me feel like the Dogs Bollocks Cool

Bloody thing started peeling off within 12 months..... Sad

From the 32/33 Colchester Town v Apsley programme.

I've never heard of a "lucky wedding ring"

Sometimes, as a father, you have to sit the young 'un down and tell him straight.

Just as this Leeds dad did back in 1946....

I was in a pub in Keele where Faggots were on the menu.....

They tasted very nice Surprised

It sounded Indian to me - reminiscent of the Raj (like kedgeree...which is very tasty).

I like a bacon roll as much as the next person but I'm not going to eat its floppy bits!
