Yes I'm talking spares.....not the collection
Once I've sorted them all, I might need some that have been left in pubs/on trains/ruined by rain
The eldest has had an offer on a house accepted which will leave just one at home by early next year leaving a reasonably sized bedroom empty. I’m so excited. Is that wrong?A question of storage
How do your store your programmes, and perhaps more importantly where?
Well, you need a lot of space,.... and for many that's a major problem.
Quite simply many don't have it, without sending one of the kids into foster care so you can adapt their bedroom.
In yesteryear there could be dozens of shoe boxes under the bed, but there was always the danger the missus would crush them when she turned over in bed.
Keep them dry and out of sunlight, and not in an attic unless its fully insulated. theres been many a collection left in suitcases upstairs. Unfortunately, a lot of 50s and 60s programmes suffer from staple bleed. The garage is to be avoided at all cost. I once knew of an old lady who had a large collection of 20s and 30s programmes that for some reason had always sat on the top of a cupboard in the kitchen. They'd been there for years but by the time she wanted rid they'd gone yellow and were all stuck together with chip fat.
In theory official club binders, sound a good idea but in reality they're not that practical. They can look good on a bookcase, but tend to cater only for modern issues and then only home games. Away programmes come in all shapes and sizes. I hate those bloody square ones, and for those of you can remember back in the 70s. Several teams like Doncaster, Plymouth, Rotherham and probably most famously Derby went for a newspaper format. Horrendous.
A lot of avid collectors don't collect modern issues because of this, they are weighty, not a great value, and will set u back near on £200 a season if you do home and away and friendlies. The downside is then its not a full collection.
Consider a purchase of non acidic paper bags like those which comic collectors use if you've got pre-war, keep them secure.
They're are some good binder/folders out there, which do the job but these cant be considered for modern issues that still remains a conundrum for most.

Interesting article at the beginning about newly promoted sides and the points accrued in the top flight. A discussion frequently heard to this day, although the tables have turned somewhat, Citeh had only been promoted the season before 65/66!
Great photo of Maine Road also with 1960’s style doctored white lines on the pitch!!

I was there!
To be honest, I can’t, I travelled to away matches quite a lot, but picking single ones now is a bit of a reach.I was not.
It’s nice to know however, that simply posting a photo of an old programme has evoked an old memory! Can you remember anything of the game, the stadium, the atmosphere etc?
I’d forgotten that Maine Road was a giant Subbuteo pitch!View attachment 67422View attachment 67423View attachment 67424View attachment 67425

State-of-the-art was Subbuteo. Spent/wasted many hours of my youth playing against my brother, with leagues that lasted several weeks. Arranging the fixture list would take a whole evening!New Footy from your era wasn’t it?!

If that first one from Salford is a mascot, it should have a fight with West Brom's famous central heating boiler man...Some non related United programme covers for a change. Great artwork and a little bit of imagination.
They do have the power to split opinion, in 2016/7 wolves went for this theme: here's the two I have.
