Match day programmes- who reads them anyway 13:13 - Jan 23 with 2473 viewsYorkRanger

Chaps/ladies
I'm looking to move on my dust gathering collection of QPR programmes.
Not counted them but would guess about 100 or so. Largely dominated by the 80s, cup final year probably every home programme and a few away and then spread across other years from the 70s through to current times.
I will keep one or two for sentimental reasons (first game Coventry home in 73, cup finals, play off final etc).
Free to a good home if someone will cover the postage.
Any interest?

Stowmarket will be along shortly.

He took a load off me last year. I was glad to send them to a good place as opposed to the recycling bin. Like you, kept a few sentimental ones, but a real trip down memory lane going through the rest.

Hello mate.I have most home programmes from the 70’s through to about 2015,but there are a few missing where I’ve given my copy for a special reason,but I’d gladly take them from if you don’t mind.
I give my spares to someone at loftus rd so they won’t go to waste.Do you get to many games,or is postage the only option?

Mate, happy to let you have them and equally happy to liaise to hand over in person at a game/games.
I don't get to many games in person but will liaise nearer the time if that is ok.
We did meet at Hull a couple of years back (I think) when I bought a spare ticket you had.

I've got hundreds, never counted but you can't carry them in one go. I'm not giving them away, Mrs Boston has been instructed to lay them around me in a canoe as she pushes me off from Putney Bridge, sailing eastwards engulfed in flames. She has even promised to wait 'till I die.

I had loads from the 70s, 80s and 90s and then the Internet happened and hardly any since. The prices now are ridiculous for what they contain also.

But I think it must have been around the mid 2000s, I went from hoarder to minimalist, and I can't even remember how I got rid of, sold or otherwise of all of mine - mad moment probably !!!!

I just remember looking at the players in each game listed all on one page and seven or eight almost starting - one hundred percent of the time !!!!

Hopefully, you will have passed at this moment Boston, as assuming extra ballast, might mean you could sink without trace anyhow !!!

If you look at the programmes from the 70’s they were just a few pages with a few photos in them.By the 90’s they’d realised how much they could make on them by filling it full of stuff that nobody really wants to read.Today’s ones are overpriced and full of adverts and news that you can find out online.
It wouldn’t surprise me to see more clubs phasing them out in the coming years.

I’ve got every home programme since 1955. I still look at the ones from the 50s to the 90s but beyond that they are just taking up space and need to shifted.

Very few programmes are worth getting these days for the price they are. I bought one at West Ham, bleeding ginormous 130 page bastard with absolute f uck all in it. Chucked t in the recycling today.

Sadly, they are losing their relevance and I’m not sure how many of the younger generation bother with them.

I wasn’t planning on going as it’s a 12.30 ko and the thought of a 5am start doesn’t really appeal to me.Maybe I’m getting old?

No worries and fully understand why it may be an unattractive proposition.

Was sorting my programmes earlier and they remain yours for when we can sort.

I’m a programme addict. Collect loads for my sins lol when Phil Harris was editor in the late to early oos they were very good. Wonder how long they will be doing one for as most clubs have binned them. Should have asked nourry that one

Poll: Now it’s slightly clearer cut who do you want as manager ?
