I still buy them religiously for every first team game, once I've read them, catalogue them and file them away with the match ticket and teamsheet if I have them.I've only got the last ten years now as all of my earlier ones from the seventies onwards were "lost" following personal issues....Think I'm missing about 15 programmes in the last 10 years but trawling the internet periodically to see if I can find them.The thing that bugs me though is when clubs like Middlesbrough produce theirs in an obscure size that buggers up the storage of them!

I bought a huge amount on E-Bay 1400 or so with the great idea to sell them on one by one and even if they fetched just 5p each I would make around 50p on the Postage and PackingThey average around 35+ years of age (mostly 67 - 75 I guess) and incluse 4 or so complete seasons of M*******r U*****d at homeIt was a get rich slow idea but I managed just one sale from my first 10 adverts and "nil" from the next 10. So I put the lot in the loft where they live to this day.I have a small collection of Progs from "matches that I was at" or "special Matches" (Rovers 10 Darlington 0 is in that category) and I do not routinely buy them anymore
Its a pity that these days they don't hold much value unless its a very rare one. I have the important ones that l want to get framed.Any one any idea of a good framing place? the ones that do the ticket and programme in one frame?
