Old Programmes

[Lee The Bee]

I have a rather large collection of Brentford home programmes & quite a few away ones from the last 10-15 years that i am in need of getting rid of. Does anybody want them or have any ideas what i could do with them other than just throwing them away?

 

[FlyBee]

I've PM'd you Lee.

Build a bonfire, build a bonfire, put the fulham on the top, queens park rangers round the middle, and burn the bloody lot, ...its the only way to get rid, they are worthless dust collectors.

Can you not sell em on eBay some clubs might buy them or something

 

[jharvey85]

By getting rid of lots of programmes are you having a programme pogrom... ?????

 

[Billy Hunt]

Wanderer Paul & Motherwell Bee are programme aficionados. Might be worth contacting them.

I do believe, however, that they have every Brentford programme ever. Something like that anyway.

Is there still a BFC programme club? Give the collection to them and let the club earn some money.

I got rid of a load at the end of last season and gave them to the programme shop under Braemar Road. Is it still going now that Dave Harrison has sadly passed away ? I have since found a shed load more in the loft so will soon be needing a home for them. Whilst on the subject of programme collecting does anyone else share my nostalgia at the old programmes that we used to see rather than the glossy, colourful, corporate things we get ripped off for these days. Oh, how front covers showing arial views of the grounds or some silhouetted action image evoke memories of hours spent cataloging and collating my collection.

So I can't take them any other day than a matchday? Didn't really fancy having to cart 4 big boxes through a busy(?) forecourt.

The programme shop is still going, Steve Hearne is running it along with a couple of others, it was a sad day when Dave passed away.
What programmes do you have in the loft? :suspect:

I don't think so unless Peter Gilham or Tony Ashley could help out and put them somewhere until a saturday when Steve gets there. Contact the club

Couldnt agree more as far as collecting is concerned !
£3 for something that now is more difficult to store and mainly skimmed through, oh for the non glossy days when the prog was four pages cost a tanner and it was all football related !
Think it might be the time to call it a day on the home collection at last, lets face it, over the last 50+ years, how many really memorable home match programmes would you want to keep ?
Now got to agonise what Im going to do with all the aways as well

Today's glossy matchday magazines all look the same. It used to be great when you could identify a club's programme by it's unique design/size/colour.
