Just trying to figure out the average age of the programme collectors on here...

I'm 21 now. 22 in October.

24 now, not 25 until September.

Wouldnt it have been easier to do a poll Barrett?

15-20
21-25
26-30
etc??

Also when i saw the subject i thought it was going to be in reference to me changing Geddons avatar to the super Ross McCormack scoring a last minute (dodgy!) penalty

27, but 28 in May.

Good to see a mixture of ages within the hobby. Programme Monthly constantly bemoan the fact that the 'youngsters' aren't collecting any more. I beg to differ after this thread.

I totally agree KCS. I started about 7 or 8 years ago, and expected the average age of collectors to be around 80!! There seems to be a really good age spread on here though.

Hate to admit it but 55 the other Saturday. Not the oldest on here though as Ken the Man. Utd fan has indicated he's of pensionable age. Having said that I'm also receiving a company pension at the moment. Thank god for final salary schemes! For the younger viewers, that means a reasonable pension on top of your state pension, and not getting f***ed by bankers, spivs, speculators, or collectively, twats.
At 55 though am enjoying collecting gain as programmes can now be purchased at realistic prices. Enjoying the 2 or 3 fairs I do which give me an opportunity to meet genuiine fans, rather than Setanta / Sky watchers.

aka grumpy old man by sound of it.

I'm West Coast, born and at present. Last time I looked Wales was to the east of England, and I'm from the Land of my Fathers, despite living majority of life in Costa del Cleethorpes. Still ****ing cold and wet up here though.
