Who buys a programme these days? What do you get apart from player profiles, match reports, and the usual what's on?
I used to collect every prog Home and Away (average 25-30 per season) for about 15 years. I'd cross out and write any team changes, and write marks out of 10 for the Albion players. And they all got filed away methodically in an old suitcase.
I stopped going for a few years in Don Howe's 3rd season as Manager, to play Saturdays, and have hardly bought one since, but I do vaguely remember that the first ones (1958) were 3d or 4d (?) What are they now? £3?
Soon after I left Home to get married, my Old Man said: "Do you still want that old suitcase in the loft?"...."Nah. Tek it to the Tip!" How I regret that now! Not only would I read them all about once a year, but I'd willingly give them all to a good home. (I'd be delighted if some bloke at the Tip had spotted them all those years ago).

Start every day off with a smile and get it over with
