Eck the bear 106 Posted August 19, 2014 Author Share Posted August 19, 2014 The guy that used to have the kollectables shop at the Saltmarket has been there a few times selling some programmes, a bit pricey I thought though, but he has some good stuff, a pleasant fellow as well.http://www.antiques-atlas.com/antique_fair/bellahouston_leisure_centre/af1476 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferris Bueller 1,569 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Eck, you'll probably be able to answer this question.I've got stacks of home programmes from the late 80's early 90's, a friend of my dads who was a season ticket holder used to give me them after he was done with them, on all the programmes the back page has a section cut out, was there some sort of voucher scheme?

Ger77 742 Posted August 19, 2014 Share Posted August 19, 2014 Eck was good enough to meet me with the programme for my first Cup Final v Hibs in 79, also threw in the semi, but wouldnt take a penny for either.Top Bear! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have a look at the other seasons and get back to you. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck the bear 106 Posted August 21, 2014 Author Share Posted August 21, 2014 All of the 87/88 programmes have a good wee picture of a current player on the back page, Cooper,Gough,McCoist etc,I have never noticed that before either, i'm glad you mentioned it.

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 22, 2014 Share Posted August 22, 2014 What's your professional opinion on the quality of this season's programmes so far Eck? Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eck the bear 106 Posted August 22, 2014 Author Share Posted August 22, 2014 What's your professional opinion on the quality of this season's programmes so far Eck?The best i've ever seen, is my honest opinion. Rangers collectors are raving about this one, a big input from the Rangers historian, there is a real vintage feel about it,the articles are great, the picture quality is superb,it is a very slick programme, the front cover has been excellent as well. I would encourage every Rangers supporter to buy all of this seasons programmes. Rangers do a subscription at the cost of £49.99 including postage, which is the way I do it. The cost for a Queen of the South subscription is £70. I have been told that only 2,000 were printed for the Clyde game. If anyone thinks of taking out a subscription, they will receive every Rangers home match programme, backdated to the start of the season. cup games and any friendlies are included in the price.http://www.rangers.t...uctSubType=PROG Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 23, 2014 Share Posted August 23, 2014 Bought my match programme annual subscription today. It's not available to buy online, because they have run out of Hearts programmes, so can't offer the package.But if you phone them up, or go to the Ticket Office, and tell them that you're totally happy to not receive the Hearts programme, then they'll still sell you the package (once they've checked with their supervisor). No more telescope-shaped programmes for me! Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

govanblue 16,847 Posted August 24, 2014 Share Posted August 24, 2014 The Hearts one is still available on ebay.I actually have two of them already. I'm willing to post one of them out to the first Fund Member who signs up for a subscription though, to make sure they get the full set. If any full set's going to be worth anything in years to come, it will be this one I think. Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
