Old Reading FC memorabilia thread

A couple of Brentford away tickets. The first one is the Promotion game in 2001/2002. The scan below that is what the ticket office included when they posted it to me. Always makes me laugh and I think I'm safe posting it 10 years later.

Other ticket is for a friendly between Brentford and Reading to celebrate the Centenary of Griffin Park.

Why does it say

"MATCH WITH SEXY HARD TICKET NUMBERS"?

Erm, I don't know Scuttz. I guess that was the point of posting it.

[Scutterbucketz]

Didn't read your post. How strange though.

Indeed Scuttz. One might almost think it was the reason I posted it....

[Scutterbucketz]

Yes, you said that in your previous post.

[Timmy]

Alright m8. Keep your


on.

[Scutterbucketz]

LOL, thats spooky! I had a hat just like that a few years back. A little bit less leathery though.

85-86 Championship League Winners Medal, and letter from Fl and ManUre signed by Matt Busby. Only 18 medals were produced, and my sister, as then Club Secretary, received one, (much to the chagrin of Roger Smee apparently who didn't receive one!). The footbal out of view was signed by the whole 85-86 squad but sadly in those days they used ball point pens, so most signatures are fading.

In the interest of keeping this thread alive, Bert Eggo's Testimonial Programme. Apologies for the rough scanning!

Nice!

Arthur Rowe in the Spurs lineup. Became manager in 1949 and led Tottenham to the Second Division title in 1950 and the First Division title in 1951.

Cheers Ark. Happy to do a few more if the interest is there. Not sure it is tbh!

As a general thing, feel free to request stuff you'd like to see. I'm happy to scan stuff if I've got it. I'm not happy, keep getting up in the loft if nobody is reading it tho.

Would do badges but I've got a couple of hundred and I'm not sure I've the time to scan/take pictures of them all.

May do a few testimonial programmes though.

Sure, Deathy's is no problem. Might do a few others too just for the sake of it

[AthleticoSpizz]

Fill yer boots Sir!

Thanx

Here you go Mr Spizz. Front and Back Cover of Steve's Testimonial. Not scanning the internal 22 pages, not sure there's the interest for one and secondly (relatively) modern programmes don't bend so well. As a bonus I've included a youthful Martin Allen appearance pictured centre as it was in the same box. 9 boxes down out of 10! Might do the Arsenal 1935 Cup game sometime too.

Fantastic! Thanx Timmy

Spookily enough, your "bonus feature" features a few of my old schoolmates.
