In my dang and fusty attic I have a programme as old as you Miss Shipton-Street, 1928 Barnsley v Oldham, an uncle gave it me many years back, in fact he remembers you still with fondness, do you recall when you use to “walk” the tunnel beneath the Pop Stand at Friday night games…………you must have been some lass in your time because he said “she got up to allsorts of tricks for a 10 bob note”, I never realised you were an entertainer,…… apologies, I digress,....unfortunately and no doubt like your self it (the programme) hasn’t worn so well, in fact tbh it’s very tatty in collectors terms with 2 very rusty staples just about doing the job, to make matters worse the cover is an insipid rose pink colour which would probably match your blusher.
I have little use for such scruffy material within my pristine collection so I would be pleased if you could value the item to see if it is worth my while pedalling it.
Its value at the time of purchase was a “clod”. (One old penny for the benefit of younger readers)
A swift response would be much appreciated as the bin-men come Thursday.
Just as a matter of interest, what tricks are you capable of doing today for a 10/- note?

Is your uncle called Peregrine Norman Arthur Ron George Billy Alan Sid Ernie Tommy Gordon Wafflesnip perchance? Well known in York because he was named after the 1954/55 FA Cup Semi-final side and featured in the Gazette & Herald at the time (I still have the press cutting somewhere)!? If so, I do recall him knocking about with my younger sister Agnes in the early 70's, but it certainly wasn't me, I was 53 then! The 'Tunnel of Love' was what my sis nicknamed the walkway at the rear of the Pop Stand for some reason. What I can't understand is why he would be in possession of a Barnsley programme! Was his dad originally from S.Yorks and work down t'pit?
Anyway, the said item would probably be a treasured item to a Tykes or Latics fan, but to me it's worth tuppence as I only value York City related items as you well know. Call in again sometime Mr. Willin, and I'll show you my disappearing-gin-bottle trick - for a token 50p, of course!

My first maroon and white City scalf from the days when my Dad used to take me as an 8 yr old kid. After matches, it used to smell of pipe tabacco smoke from the habits of fans standing nearby (pipe smoking was more de-rigueur in those days, kids!) - gorgeous!
Used to think of it as a huge "Dr Who" type scalf back then, but now when I look at it, its pretty ordinary sized - guess I must have grown.......  |

Your menu will be worth a few quid 50 years down the line when all the above have vacated this planet for that great football pitch in the sky. Unfortunately, fifty years from now, you might have too. Best leave it in your Will to a City-supporting member of the family who can cash it in.
Play-off Final tickets are ten-a-penny as I have mentioned elsewhere.
The Man City away-ticket interests me. Sadly, it was York City who were relegated following their defeat at Maine Road that day in May 1999, and quite naturally, any passionate Minstermen fan duly tore up their tickets in disgust at the final whistle when results indicated we would go down. What on earth made you keep this? Anyhow, you may be in a minority of York fans who still have this ticket, but who the hell would want to buy something that reminded them of a bad day at the office? I suggest you get it on EBay and see if either of the Gallagher brothers, Eddie Large, Mark Radcliffe or Lard start bidding against each other for it. You might get a fiver.

What's a Scalf?   You may have something rare on your hands there!

I've got a 1970's York 'Y-Front' shirt with the number 5 on the back signed by Barry Swallow.
Is that worth anything, since I'm a bit short this month and need to raise the train fare to Canvey?

*Grrrrrrr*. 'Spit' as I now refer to him was my favourite player in the season City got promoted to the old 2nd Division. His off-the-field dirty deeds with his fellow BCH chums had me choking on my false teeth as things went from bad to worse - culminating a potential eviction from my cavernous home if BC was sold. Lucky that the Supporters' Trust and that nice, smart Mr. McGoo chap stepped in to save the day........
.....now do you really need me to tell you whether that Judas' shirt is worth 'owt?

If you want to pay me a visit young man, I'll be more than happy to value your SCARF, and then dish out a damn good leathering to your a*se with a boot once worn by Johnny Byrne for being so rude to me. Honestly, the kids of today - no bleeding respect!  *sniffle*

Semi-Final programme from 1955. The crowd noise was so loud that my dad ended up in hospital with a ruptured eardrum!

I refer you to my earlier response in this thread on page 2:-

| Well, lets put things into perspective shall we? There were 65,000 people present at the game which ended 1-1. In those days, and despite printing methods being a lot slower than today, 70,000 programmes were printed. In other words, they never sold out 30 minutes before kick-off and 5,000 were held back for selling to programme collectors worldwide. There are still alot circulating in MINT condition. Quadruple the 6d price on the cover and you have its true value - about £1.65 in today's money. |

Your mate is lying. I have the original pair - complete with Wembley grasss stains. Deano delivered them personally as a way of saying thanks for giving him a manicure two days before the Final against Crewe.

I had that sky blue away shirt with the trophy design around the badge from Div. 4. championship season. I was only a nipper so it was in 'small'. Trouble was, being young I didn't appreciate it fully, wore it endlessly and who knows where it is now? Thrown in the bin by an unknowing parent no doubt. Pain and shame.

I do Jim! I've been in touch with the Police, and Noddyinnapa (the thieving b***er!) will be getting a knock at the door very soon from the OB to reunite you with your old top (worth about £30 in good nick). Ha-ha. Nick - geddit, Noddy?

You know, you do get a feeling about that lad don't you. Must be the Donny thing. I don't like casting nasturtiums though so best leave it. Alas, my shirt was definitely earlier than that and an eighties bit of cloth. Can't recall but it might have had the Hansa sponsorship on the front. I'd never get my beery bloke breasts in it now!
