Will do, surprised programme collecting fans at these clubs havnt complained. Notts County I believe are using the excuse of reducing their environmental impact.

They probably have but they are few and far between these days hence the sales being minimal.

I'd have thought a programme was recyclable, unless they were making them out of asbestos.

It's nice to be able to Trust again.

It?s a shame that more people don?t collect programmes but understand why they don?t, it used to be compulsory for clubs to do one but a vote change a few years ago gave clubs the green light to not do them. IMO a programme is a historical snapshot in time that will be lost as online material evolves. I challenge any fan to come and join me 1-2-1 to look through some old programmes and not be fascinated by what they see and read. A programme can bring so many memories from games attended and businesses of old eg who remembers Blackstraws cafe, Coalite,

A strange request but do you happen to have any single sheet 3rd team programmes from the 69/70 season and one in particular v York City at home?

Ah ok. I?d have been surprised if they?d binned them off completely, they seem to have always made a decent effort with their programmes over the years. One of the better ones.
