All depends as to whether it's an original or not, and there's numerous copies / reprints of it. I've got a couple, and I bought my last one at auction for £45 - admittedly to sell on for a profit as I'm a programme dealer. Really good mint ones would normally go for between £80 to 120. Others, which may be folded, creased, have the teams written in (they were blank when sold) reduces that amount considerably. The bottom's fell out of the programme market in the last few years, the same as it has with any kind of collectables market (a) because of ebay making programmes much more obtainable, and (b) because of the financial climate people have much less disposable income to spend on non essentials.
That's not to say there isn't money to be made, and Grimsby are a particularly well collected club whose older programmes regularly out perform others of a similar vintage. I believe that's because we (RJS Programmes) used to run the programme shop at BP in the late 80's and early 90's whereby we sold really good programmes at reasonable prices and had a fairly loyal clientele who regularly spent well in the shop. Those collectors, by and large, have stayed in the hobby and Town's older programme prices are reflected by their involvement.


Well said John

I moved north in 1991, leaving Sid Woodhead and Ron Cowling behind as RJS Programmes. Ron died young of cancer within a short time of me leaving, and Sid persevered by himself, albeit ably and abetted by club historian Robert Briggs. When the club decided they wanted to expand commercially Sid had to vacate the shop and set up in St Aidans church hall on matchdays for a while, but it never really took off again, as he never had the day to day contact he used to have in the club shop. I hope I'm not the other "old boy" you refer to...only 37 when moving north! No other "old blokes" in there either.



No attempt at ethical or social seduction can eradicate from my heart a deep burning hatred of the Tory party. So far as I'm concerned they're lower than vermin. Aneurin Bevan.

There's more than one famous Liverpool game! Although we got humped in the late 1970's in the FACup, we did take an away support over over 20,000 - which is absolutely phenomenal. I also doubt whether that figure has ever been seen at Anfield before or since?
