Do you have a programme you want to sell? or are looking to buy one you would really love to own, or simply might like to swap some programmes.
All you need to do is post your request in this room.

Has anyone out there got a copy of the Farsley Celtic v Torquay programme from December 2007. I know only a car load went from down here as it was a midweek fixture just before christmas. Apparently not many programmes were printed that night and i will pay your price, any condition, let me know, thanks, Neil

Neil, Same goes for me. Also need this programme. Print run very small because machine broke down as far as I am aware. Any help gratefully received. Have got some good swaps if need be.

Will put them in boxes for you. PM me if interested, thank you I'm afraid I can't take up this opportunity, Gullone. In fact, having moved home yesterday - now back in EX4 - I'm rather "off" football programmes in general. I have far too many - Torquay homes, Torquay aways, miscellaneous games (everything else I've seen) - to the extent I am seriously considering waving goodbye to the lot of them. Dangerous to make a snap decision but the time may have come. But how to dispose if that's the decision? |

Firstly welcome home to the beautiful south although the timings slightly unfortunate with an expedition to Gateshead just a couple of weeks away. It would be nice to keep a copy of every game you have attended if possible which i suspect is hundreds at least in your case. You will struggle to get rid of Torquay home and aways from the last fifty years imo. There will be the odd sell out of course along with some obscure friendlies which end up on peoples wants list. Having said all that if you have a 2005/6 Willand Rovers away bowl semi and the 2007/8 Farsley Celtic versus Torquay then i will happily give you a piggy back to Gateshead and back ! |

In fact, having moved home yesterday - now back in EX4 EX4 home? Up North according to Chelston's map. Make sure you get there really early on Saturday if you want to bag your old spot on the Pop. |

. You will struggle to get rid of Torquay home and aways from the last fifty years imo. Thank you for the welcome and, yes, I think you are right about the lack of value or interest in Torquay United programmes. They probably come under the "you can't give them away" category. Literally. Maybe that's why the Oxfam skip at the Model Village has been stuffed full, out-of-commission on each of the last few times I've checked? Funnily enough my programmes have long been pruned to just the games I've seen with the exception of a few pre-1975 homes which I've no idea whether I saw or not. It still leaves a bloody load and they seem to become larger publications each passing season. Up to Conference North/South you're talking about something sensible for £2; above that and it's going to be a whopper. "Keep them simple" would be my preference. The answer for me may be to resolve that the programmes will not accompany me on any future home move. As for now they've been put away into six 64-litre plastic containers from Staples. So I'll keep them complete for now and not dangle Farsley (away) in front of Gullone. But I wasn't present at Willand so that's blown my fully inclusive trip to the Heed anyway. I'll just have to make my own way to a fixture that I would have much preferred next March or April. |

Save for an intermediate perch in TQ1, it's a long, long time since I inhabited the TQ2 heartlands. Chelston's map must be one of those old-style - he's mature enough - Ordnance Survey maps (sheet 188) which extended no further than Chudleigh. One of the first maps "Map Boy" (as I'm sure I was known) ever purchased from WH Smith's exceptionally well-appointed branch in Torquay. Hopefully Chelston can be encouraged to venture on the occasional away trip this season. He's one of several old dependables who I may (possibly) have started to miss had I stayed away from Plainmoor too long. And that South Wales valleys boy from Brixham too. |

I was at Willand but the chances of my laying my hands on the prog easily are thin. If I did, we could share a train ticket and do one way each by train and one by Gullone piggy-back. |

Ah, home sweet home for the last 19 years for me... The programmes issue is a tricky one. I freely admit to having an obsessive collector mentality and have to be accumulating something at any given time. Railways are a life-long theme, which waxed and waned for a while, but has been the main game again for the last eight years. I had previously drifted away from trains in my student days of the early 90s (no coincidence that this was the time when the old diesel classes were retired from passenger duties and the tidal wave of 'plastic' units became overwhelming). Records and fanzines became the priority then, and I often stared through my crusty dreadlocks at the railway collection and pondered how something that meant so much to me for so long now meant so little. Thankfully, although I sold a couple of items of railwayana that I now slightly regret, I hung on to the haulage records, the rail atlas and most of the other junk and it now means even more to me than it did back in 1992. Whilst I had always bought and kept programmes right from my first games attended in the late-70s onwards, in the grand scheme of things my programme obsession (Programme Monthly subscription, catalogues, fairs, daily eBay etc.) only lasted a short while - seven or eight years, from around 1998 to 2006 or so. I've got around 3,500 I think, the vast majority being Torquay, but with a fair few others (at my most desperate I would be foraging the boxes at Tivvy Town and come away with all sorts of landfill from Bishop Sutton, Torrington and the like). I still get all the homes, but apart from those and a couple of the more interesting items collected over the years, I ponder the boxes and boxes of run-of-the-mill stuff up in the loft, not looked at in years now, and I too wonder if it's time to offload. Then I remember how much I enjoyed rediscovering the rail piffle after a long hiatus and would caution some future-proofing. That said, if you do get rid, there are a couple of gaps I'd like to fill! |
