I think they've only worn the red shirts at the launch/photoshoot haven't they? It's a great away kit with the white/grey shorts but it looks equally good with the red shorts. Not keen on them wearing black shorts with it, as they did in one of the friendlies.Any idea why Sharp has red shorts on, on the cover? Or when we played in that combo?
Yeah that's my mate Lee

I just needed to edit the programme front page, to a more apt image, hope you don't mind.........Some people love them, some people don't bother with them and others just hit each over the head with them. I confess as a kid I fell into the final category but as time has gone on I'm now entrenched in the first.
Whether you're a programme junky or not, '£3 yer match programme' is sadly history.
Welcome to the Premier League, The new programme is £3.50.
Thought I would start with a quick review of Sunday's programme. View attachment 59926
So what do you get for your extra £0.50p
On first observations not much.
Same shape and size, not against that, with a bound spine they're much better than they were a few seasons ago
I admit I love the new arty bianco print that is featured, an interesting couple of pages on the Lane revamp, and a couple of pages on Danny Hall's book, but the inside follows the same identical template as the last couple of seasons, and therefore its slightly disappointing.
It may change, but we don't have much imagination when it comes to covers, other clubs in recent seasons have gone for retro programme covers, there's been some real beauties and personally would have like to seen us do the same.
It may be because United's programme sales have actually increased over the last couple of seasons, where as many clubs sales have decreased (no doubt aligned with our success on the pitch), but I think the club has possibly missed a trick regarding the youngsters.
Some clubs do Sticker books like Panini, where you get half a dozen stickers per programme throughout the season. It may seem a slightly capitalist way of doing things, but think how many extra programmes we would shift.
Having said all that I still buy three Programmes at every home game
As a bit of a programme anorak, It will be interesting to see how ours compares to others in the premier League.

You are not a proper Sheffielder if you’re buying 3 programmes at every game! Bloke next to me just buys one and brings a portable photocopier to the game and makes grainy black and white copies of it.
Next Month at Stacey's auction down in Essex.
There are 39 Bound Volumes up for grabs in one lot including the very first volume, and our Championship winning season.
1897/98 - 1938/39 Football Programmes: Lacking only 3 volumes which are 1898/99 1908/09 and 1911/12. (37 volumes). All 1st team, Reserves, Friendlies, Testimonials and local matches played at the ground. Some very difficult to obtain FA Cup Semi Finals and England matches are included and all programmes have covers. View attachment 61526View attachment 61527
Absolute dream...…....but I don't suspect there's too many of us can even afford the estimate: £95000 - £105000.
Will be interesting to see if they actually sell?
I thought it would fetch about £80 + commission. I wasn’t the buyer this time. I already have this one with the no. 30 embossed on it.Auction Watch: Sheffield Auction gallery Last week.
Pretty disappointing fare at the Sheffield Auction last week in regards to United, although I confess I didn't attend on the day.
Apart from a couple of boxes consisting mainly of 70s to 00s which weren't owt to shout home about, there were two little items of interest.
First up was a bound volume from the 1923-4 season.
Included was the F.A. Cup Semi Final between Aston Villa v. Burnley.
Also, all twenty one League games, v. Bolton, Manchester City, Newcastle, Chelsea, Preston, Burnley, Everton, Nottingham Forest, Liverpool, Aston Villa, Cardiff, Middlesbrough, West Ham, Sunderland, Arsenal, Blackburn, Tottenham, Huddersfield, Notts County, Birmingham, West Brom. Plus County Cup game v. Rotherham County, twenty two reserves games including v. reserves of Leeds United, The Wednesday, Manchester United; together with Wharncliffe Charity Cup v. Treeton and Dinnington Main v. Nether edge Amateurs, 'A' v. Norton Woodseats, neutral venue for Eckington Works v. Worksop Town (Senior Cup Semi, Halifax v. Northampton F.A Cup 1st round, second replay, Barnsley Reserves v. Worksop Town.

Love these bound volumes, works of art in my opinion. Lets hope a United fan bought it, but I suspect it was a dealer who'll now butcher it, by splitting it and selling them individually.
Bloody sacrilege.
Hammer Price: £1400 plus buyers premium will take it past £1700.
The second item was a Sheffield United 1939-40 Players Complimentary Season Ticket- featuring fixtures for first reserve and 'A' teams. Gilt lettering and number '56' to red Morocco cover.

Hammer Price: £100 plus buyers premium. Double the estimate. A bit pricey,.... perhaps it was the season 1939-40 that pushed it further than normal.
Need Spongebob to tell us all about it as he collects these sort of things
Do you guys know about the birmingham based auction house called sporting memories?I thought it would fetch about £80 + commission. I wasn’t the buyer this time. I already have this one with the no. 30 embossed on it.
P.S. ...... don’t tell everyone about up and coming auctions!
For the next couple of weeks I’ll be having a couple of lines on the Euro million’s...... just in case
Sorry to hear about your dad. Robert Adcock. Little fellow. That’s a real shame as us Blades would have given you a good price on anything we needed. What sort of years were we looking at?Do you guys know about the birmingham based auction house called sporting memories?
I know the guy who owns it and have just done some deals with him selling some of my late fathers stuff.
Im sorting things out for my elderly mum who didnt know where to start.
