Funny you should say that... I once saw a massive pile of Bees programmes dumped by the side of the road in Hanwell (near Wickes) they didn't look rare (to me anyway), mostly from the 70's and 80's. There were far too many to carry at the time and when I went back to salvage, they had gone. :( They must have meant something to somebody once..

You just reminded me of that...

PG has some wonderful pictures in black and white of the great side we had in the 30's and 40's I'd love to view them online. I was left breathless when I saw them a few years back, one picture was off a funeral, with the a full road of black top of the range cars that had something to do with Bees players. that one I have never forgetten:sorted:

On speaking to the guys in the programme shop, if my memory serves me right, that when games were called off, in maybe the early 70's, that Eric White would keep one copy of the programme and the rest would get shredded.

I reckon there are enough Bees supporters around, who have extensive collections of memorabilia etc, to join up and scan/digitalise all the items to make a collection well worth putting online.

But some won't share their collections unfortunately!

Programmes are readily available going back to the 1920's (earlier than that would be hard), pictures are less so but there is/was a supporter with an extensive collection, autographs are common, but shirts must be less so along with the clubs 'minutes' and agm notes.

As for Eric White, i have no idea what happened to his collection of Bees stuff, i hope the 'White' family still has it!? i have seen the 'odd' FA Cup mock ups in case of a replay (the 1970's game v Yeovil was one, we lost at their ground though!) and those which were scrapped, but there are normally more than one of these around.
