    Bad news is someone, not the club, just grabbed some stats off wiki.

    1987 we were top flight and 4th tier WTF?

    45/46 was wartime regional league and we finished 3rd anyway.
    The 86/87 play-off is a right oddity and a reasonable representation. Suggesting we were in the fourth tier (no idea what that would have been) is bizarre.

    The '98 promotion was to the Premiership, not the Premier League. (let them have that, the article needs to be readable today)

    I'm not sure how others have got on if ordering with this company, but I'm still waiting having not bought one at Wembley on the day. I placed my order on the 28th and thought it would be here by now, but having just read customer reviews for them, a two third 1/5 star rating for service with some advising to avoid having either not received anything or having had to wait ages. Not that hopeful now. I'll email them chasing up, but might be lucky to get a reply.

    Edit - just seen you post @guinessaddick, and hope mine arrives in it soon!!!

    The email I received from the company.

    Hi,

     

    sorry for not getting back to you sooner on your query, I have only just returned to the office after annual leave and it doesn’t look like a colleague has picked up your email.

     

    Pre-orders placed before Thursday 22nd May of the League One play-off programme were despatched first-class as scheduled on Friday 23rd, with anything ordered post that date processed and sent on Wednesday 28th May.

     

    Having spoken to despatch I have been informed that a small number of orders have not been sent due to a sell out online, although we are awaiting programmes returned from our sellers at Wembley. These will all be despatched early next week, week communing 9th June, so that all orders are fulfilled.

     

    We apologise for any inconvenience caused by this delay but you can rest assured that your order for this treasured memento will be with you as soon as possible.

     

    Kind regards,

    Dave

    Got mine Tuesday.  Nice momento for my Charlton treasure box.  This will be handed to my children on my passing and no doubt wind up in a skip on the driveway!

    I ordered ours a few days before the game and they arrived about 5 days after the match. I didn't want to lug it around with me on the day, as I knew drinking would be happening and it would get messy.

    Some kind  bloke in a suit with a Pompey badge on, gave my kids a programme each on the tube. He was probably doing efl duties or something. I already had 3 on order and picked up more at Wembley so let me know if you want one

    Sounds like pot luck on these. I ordered ours on the 19th and they arrived on the Saturday, the day before the final. Just ordered another one today for a friend of ours. Will see how long that one takes to arrive.

    Just outside, it gets a lot of use.
