Programmes....three quid

[1889]

Watching the game on Sky last night, quite clearly heard ‘programmes three quid’ as the first half kicked off?

I thought, surely his dedication to the art of programme selling, doesn’t extend to that shit hole. Then I thought £3, for their programmes, not a chansiri, must be at least a fiver.

So what’s the explanation, I can only assume it was Sky adding a bit of previously recorded crowd noise.

At least it wasn’t over a minutes silence this time

 

[Paulus]

You are def correct. Sky must have been using crowd noise from BDTBL - unless, perish the thought, 3 quid is moonlighting at the sty

He does work there apparently.

 

[Kryten]

Apparently he's out on loan!

 

[1889]

He does work there apparently.

So, you reckon ‘3 quid’s’ a double agent, Bert ?

Well I bet he doesn’t have his own chant there

Known in the trade as a Fifth Columnist. This has been talked about on here before and recently, he sells programmes at both grounds, but is a Blade.

I definitely saw him at Morecambe a few seasons ago and he wasn’t selling then, so that seemed to confirm his allegiance.

 

[away ends always empty.]

I bought my programme of him at the bottom of herries road apparently he does 3 or 4 local clubs .

 

[metalblade]

Yeah he works both clubs, some sell programmes at the Steelers games too.

 

[away ends always empty.]

Hope they don't go up to £3.25 next season .

 

[S64 Blade]

They've been £3 for quite some time now. It must be 15 years at least. Inflation-proof.

It was a nightmare when they were £2.50 I used save 50p coins all week to use as a float or you would be struggling for change all the time.

 

[Whiston Blade]

It always seems that you have to be a special breed to sell programmes. Always had my "go to" seller up the top of the steps on the Kop/John Street corner, felt bad if I didn't buy one off him, saw him walking up Manor Top a while ago, had to tell the Mrs that he was my programme seller, she didn't seem that interested. Not bought one in years, actually, I tell a lie, I picked up the special edition L1 Champions programme vs Chesterfield.

 

[ChipButtyBlade]

Great voice projection,he was apparently at an empty Bramall Lane (doing some voice training) and the Sky sound mics picked his voice up at the Sty.

 

[Nade]

The bloke could work at both Bramall Lane and Hillsboro?

It was definitely our man.

Don't you mean you saw him with Eric Morecambe?

 

[SwissBlade]

i bet he sells way more at the sty

 

[boo radley]

i bet he sells way more at the sty

No, equal amounts at each but apparently he accounts for 50% of program sales at both grounds. In other words half n half

 

[Bladesthorpe]

i bet he sells way more at the sty

He does but the Wendy programme only has pictures in and no writing.

 

[pudseyblade]

I was behind enemy lines in the home end on Monday and can confirm it was him. I was shocked - it was literally the first thing I said to my wife when I got home and she asked me how the game was!

 

[Gin&Juice]

All them wealthy faded blue seats Init.

I mean fans..

Chuckling away here at the thought of us Blades fans excitedly telling our other halves "look, that bloke's me programme seller!" or "the programme seller at Wednesday is the same as the one at United!" and it seeming like such a great story to tell someone, only to realise no, no it's not and they are not interested in the slightest.

I genuinely came onto the forum to post this as new information only to find someone had beaten me to it

 

[PokerBlade]

Typical. Most talented programme seller we've had in years and here we are risking losing him to a local rival for what must be a pittance. Time to tie him down with a new contract or he'll be selling programmes for Leicester next season.

 

[Gannon's perm]

Is he on a promotion bonus?

 

[mattbianco1]

He does both.

I had the misfortune of having to entertain clients there in Carlos' first season and he was doing the rounds then

Of course he does. Its easy when they simply throw the coins down to him....
