Ground Development Fund - Bucket Collections.

It has been a while since I posted an update on our fans generosity. This year, we have been selling old programmes in the Quaker retail unit on match days, which has all gone into the donation buckets on match days. So as it stands, we have taken £2,743. So thank you everyone who has thrown in thei...

Re: old programmes

If someone would like to start and list 2500 programmes then that would be fantastic.

I just don't have the time.

That is why I would ask people to pop into Quaker retail on match days and see what we have and if there is something more specific, then let us know and we will have a look.

Re: old programmes

It is going reasonably well. We get a steady stream of people calling into Quaker retail and we have raised in excess of £100. I also have been selling some of the older programmes on facebook and have raised about £90 on there also. We have Darlo home and away programmes going back to the late 50's...

Re: Away to Trafford in the FA Cup

Done 2 games a day on many occasions. The first was August 9th 1980. Me and my mate got the train to Sheffield and went to Hillsborough to watch Sheff Wed play Sheff Utd in the league cup first round first leg, which was an 11am kick off. When that finished, we hot footed it down to the station to c...

Just an update for you all. The York game raised another £210. This included about £48 from old programme sales. This was the best day so far for raising funds from the sale of old programmes. If you haven't popped in to Quaker retail on match days, then please call in and see the array of programme...

Re: old programmes

The insert most probably was the 'entry fee' team sheet. I have come across this programme once or twice over the years, but not with the 'teamsheet' included. Probably because they were thrown away once fans entered the ground as you could still buy the official programme. I cant remember attending...
