Sure it has been shared here before, but I haven't read it!

When Coventry City had the most beautiful programmes ever made

clint van damme · Sep 5, 2019

great programs, great club badge, great kit - no ground!

Nick · Sep 5, 2019

We had a ground then

ccfcway · Sep 5, 2019

Does anyone actually buy programmes these days.

Notice on. Tuesday night they were selling them at £1.50

Yep buy a prog every game I go too. Ours is a lot better than most

My dad only buys a program when he visits a new ground these days

Tommo1993 · Sep 5, 2019

Don’t think I’ve bought one since 2012. Other than the Wembley ones.

I end up losing them. Stick them in my back pocket and they fall out, so stopped bothering.

My 11 year old loves them, gets them every game and reads them from cover to cover.

He even makes me order any we miss.

Woolly68 · Sep 5, 2019

Got programmes for every game I’ve been to since about 89/90, Coventry and Exeter games. Always read them when I get home. Pull out the old ones every now and again for a read. Don’t generally get programmes for games I miss.

Think there's an EFL rule that you have to produce a programme for some odd reason.

I buy them if its a 'big' away game, got a few stashed away. Used to buy them at home but at the Ricoh it could be hard to find someone selling them.

Sky Blue Harry H · Sep 5, 2019

Wish I'd collected them/kept my old ones. That said, it is the very old programmes that have a 'magic' feel about them - they feel special for some reason. Can imagine they are real pain to store if you've kept them all over the years (plus a few annoyed partners!)

TTG · Sep 5, 2019

We won best programme in league 1 last year, and league 2 before that. Compared to other programmes in this league, ours is world class. I still always buy them and enjoy reading them, I loved the style they had last year and this year's is v nice too.

Speedies_Chips · Sep 5, 2019

I've still got all my programmes from 67/68 onwards, although I dont buy away programmes anymore, I just keep the tickets.

Yeah, the £1.50 one was basically a poster with a fixture list on the back (now on lad’s bedroom wall getting filled in every week with scores, motm etc).

Adge · Sep 5, 2019

Used to get them all the time but they all just end up gathering dust stashed away somewhere. Just buy the odd one when we go away now.

The Great Eastern · Sep 5, 2019

I buy a programme for whatever sporting event I'm attending be it footy, stock cars, greyhounds etc etc. Started at HR in 1966 and have got hundreds stashed away. When SISU pull the plug, my ccfc ones are going to be worth a fortune to some yet to be thought of descendent...

Sky_Blue_Dreamer · Sep 5, 2019

Got loads in the loft from when I started going up to about the age of 14 plus a load my uncle had from the 60/70/80's. Got a few special ones (Cup Final, HR/Ricoh) but don't get them now - just keep the tickets. Used to be useful cos you could read about new signings etc and they would actually provide news on the club. Once we got teletext you knew all the stuff in it already, then with the internet and SM it's just not necessary. More for the youngsters as it's a memento IMO.

oakey · Sep 5, 2019

Yes I always buy one.
I have 20+ for every season back to 72/73 plus odd ones from before that.
I found the Bayern Munich one (with a match ticket inside) only recently.
One day I intend to find a programme fair somewhere, take a weekend break, and take all but a few special ones to sell.

That was my first match. My dad took me and I sat on the last seat in the Sky Blue stand next to the West End and nearly froze to death. I was hooked though, what a Christmas present.
My late Dad would have been 98 yesterday. RIP x
