Absolutely brilliant ...like a few on here deep frustration on not knowing how to add pictures on here

Find somewhere to upload the picture. Once you've done that the picture will have a URL eg www.something.com/picture.jpg

once you have that, click the IMG button above your reply and put that address in between the IMG and /IMG parts.

'Find somewhere to upload the picture' is the baffling barrier for old school types who live in fear of cloud computing.

^^^Timmy, a pretty impressive collection! The 1922 programme is especially rare, who was that against?

[Stuka]

Wonderful scans! Quite a collection

Great to see these, stop lurking and start posting.

[Ark Royal]

Fantastic stuff. Noted that the late and great Duncan Edwards was in the Man Utd line-up.

[Alexander Litvinenko]

Love the "Scoreboard Key" especially. Those were the days, waiting for someone to walk round with the numbers and slot them into the appropriate places - and if you didn't have a programme you didn't know which score was for which match!

[Timmy]

Here you go chaps. Another one. 1933 - a game at Elm Park between the First Battalion of the Welsh Guards and the Second Battalion of the Rifle Brigade. Complete with interesting Supporter's Club notes:

This is the most priceless RFC programme collection I have ever seen and I thought I had some good shit.

Lock. This. Thread.

[Slinxx]

who the hell was Mark Smith

I thought exactly the same when I read it - knew all other players as was a regular back then but no idea on Smith. Asked a few mates and nothing....turns out he was a Scottish on loan winger from Forest who made 3 appearances from us!

Reading that "Supporters Club" column is very interesting. Nothing ever changes .....

Is that Chris Tarrant's dad on the committee?!

Thanks for the kind words Ark. It really isn't that impressive in terms of other Reading collections though. Far, far better collections out there than mine. Just thought I'd share a few things that I've got.

Love the old-school formations. When a full-back was actually fully back.

Thanks a lot for these Timmy they're fantastic.

[MouldyRoyal]

Will have a look, cheers.
