I'm not especially an England fan but that was the first England game I've actually enjoyed watching for about 20 years. Probably since the Holland game at Euro 96.
Why do you want to get rid of them? Personally, I feel it's important for a Supporters Trust to help preserve the history of the club and one way of doing that is to keep an archive of things like this, plus video footage including season review DVD's. Might I suggest asking Reading Museum if they ...
Bump with a little reminder of where we come from. The baths at Elm Park: http://i61.tinypic.com/149pgk2.jpg The home dressing room: http://i61.tinypic.com/315lul0.jpg The Town End toilets (on auction day but not much different, in reality, to the rest of the time, bar the vegetation being somewhat ...
3 pages from the FA Cup Replay of 1930/31 against Crystal Palace at Stamford Bridge. Sadly, we lost this one 2-0. Finally resized them to fit the new format if anyone noticed them appearing and disappearing about 4 times :lol: I see the Arsenal programme is now cut off on in several places on page 6...
Now you have passed the initial test, so if anyone is still reading this nonsense, can anyone help out with the Erith & Belvedere team that we beat 4-0 in an FAC4q match on 15/11/1924!! Long shot, but there might be someone out there interested (sad) enough to help! Book referenced down the bot...
A few scans of the Wisbech programme. Strap - you'll be pleased to see that whoever attended the game agrees with the attendance figure. It wasn't me. Horrific hyphenation from the Team Manager's Office.. http://i39.tinypic.com/15g70x3.jpg http://i43.tinypic.com/1427qco.jpg http://i41.tinypic.com/20...
OK. Can actually do four of them. Can't find the QPR 06.11.57 game for some reason. Teams as listed in the programmes so no first names for some of them. 31.03.58 Luton Town Baynham GK Dunne RB Hawkes LB McGuffie RH Owen CH Pacey LH Whitby OR Turner IR Groves CF Cullen IL McLeod OL 13.01.58 West Ham...
Can probably give you the Team Line-ups from 3 of those games from the programmes if that's any help? Suspect it's not a massive help though as there's no guarantee they were the playing line up.
Agreed. As we've discussed before the programmes are a social history. Wouldn't want to guess at what the Daimlers got up to or Collinson and Dean. "Mirth and Misery". Just like Hobnob.
Good stuff Spaghetti. Nice to see someone else contributing. Here's a couple of pirate programmes from both of those games: http://i46.tinypic.com/vfvazs.jpg http://i48.tinypic.com/5z2q9w.jpg At least the above two pirates listed the teams. Here's a generic pirate I bought as a young schoolboy befor...
Thanks for the mention. I have a lot of other stuff, but it is such a job scanning. Will get round to doing some more one day. Agreed Ark. It's a pain scanning stuff. Like you I've got a few other things I'd like to share but I'm not sure that the interest is there enough for me to bother. Nice stu...
Actually, having a quick scroll down my own post, it's struck me, how back in 1935 even, how many of our players weren't local. A quick scan of the Pen Paragraphs indicates that the southern most member of staff was the trainer who was Welsh. All the rest seem to be from the North. Interesting. Read...
