    Nothing that I can think of off-hand, a few from before my time so good to have some old ones.

    I know what you mean. I have hundreds of the feckers.

    I think i have every programme (home and away) from 1989 to 1996.

    Going to start selling most of them soon I reckon - the missus wants to make room for yet more cushions

    If you get rid of the missus and the cushions you'll have room for more programmes.
