understand teh fans do it now? why did we stop?
Everything from our..and yours, Paris...generation, is collectable.Yes lads, purely down to cost.
Plus, unless you have substantial 'fan' base, gates of around 12,000 to 15,000 are just not viable.
A knew a lad back in the 60s, who supported Chelsea.
He went to a match against Manchester United at The Bridge around 1966; attendance 62,000, the club claimed to have sold 65,000 programmes!
Also, I think it's a generational thing; don't think kids really have collected them since the turn of the century.
Unless they can read it on the phone, they're just not interested.

I wonder what would gain that status from this century?
My lads 8. Doesn’t stop going on about he’s program and organising them in the right order. He learned all the players names and numbers from the back of it. Fair play to the fan base for continuing it. Would be a slightly lesser experience for them to be missing from match days.Yes lads, purely down to cost.

It would be the cost of it... no other reason .understand teh fans do it now? why did we stop?
Multiply that by about 5 and that’s the number I have gathering dust, including the last one, which is nice.I have about 300 match day programmes at home, including the very last one produced. Won't be selling these in a hurry, probably end up being a collectibles item in many years to come.. unless they start producing them again
I remember the Castrol lubrication charts and had Lambretta and Vespa ones ,that was late 1960'sYes mate, collecting did seem important back in the day.
Perhaps it's because we didn't have materialistic stuff back in the 50/60s.
We collected everything; football programmes, stamps, tea cards, beer labels, beer mats and copies of the Eagle comic.
The weirdest I can remember were Castrol Oil lubrication charts - don't ask me why, but they are now going on eBay for twenty quid a pop!
