Henry, just a suggestion but these auctions seem to go crazy whenever there's a glimpse - just a tease - of your seductive handle. You might want to bear this in mind in future.

(Have already got this, so on that basis - I'm out!)

Funny you should say but as I took the pics the door was behind me, the handle gleaming in the afternoon sun, jutting out proudly like a...

You sure this is going to the Academy? I'm not good at all this ebay stuff.

Henry Irving

I wouldn't mind Bryan but I sent you the spreadsheet last week : - )

last day today.

 

very nice history of an historic season written at the time.

 

we produced a handbook for the 80/81 promotion season which was also our 75th year as a club  then only "long Good Friday until 89/90.  Strange.

 

At least now we get a handbook every year.  New one out tomorrow.

Henry Irving

Bump

Henry Irving

Congratulations Bryan,

Let me know how you want to collect.

Thanks to everyone else for bidding

Henry, are you going to Notts County? We could secretly exchange brown envelopes.

Sadly I won't be at the Valley on Saturday

Henry Irving

Sorry missing Notts.

Reading?

It's not very strange when you look at the economics of it. Low standalone sales and the club has never been very successful/very good* at selling advertising space in publications.

It also comes down to individuals. I produced the 89/90 and 90/91 handbooks gratis; then Nolan's Diary, apart from the club, which was a variation. The handbooks aren't great, but it was just me on an Amstrad (with input from Colin, Tom and Steve Dixon, I think).

Peter Barratt was in a similar situation with the Long Good Friday, AFAIK.
