I wonder how much this BEAUTY will go for PT 2

[Goldstone Rapper]

Yeah I still can't work out why a) all teams played basically a 2-3-5 and b) all matches didn't finish 5-4.

Although the formation was defined as 2-3-5, the two inside forwards dropped back so it was more like 2-3-2-3 in reality. Plus the offside law was much, much more restrictive in those days.

Oh, and players weren't always keen on passing the ball in those day, seeing it as cowardly compared to dribbling the ball as far as you could before being tackled!

I like the smoking advert on it:



To Smokers

If you wish to get the Greatest Satisfaction out of that “Old Briar” of yours you must Smoke the “Albion Mixture.” It’s the finest Smoking mixture yet introduced. “Nuff Said.”

I thought "Nuff Said" was a recent addition to the English language, commonly used for the purpose on internet forums

Read this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Inverting-Pyramid-History-Football-Tactics/dp/1409102041

Explains the evolution of football tactics from playing 100% attacking football to what we see now. Bloody good read.

9th after 10 games and the likes of Portsmouth, Bristol Rovers and Swindon above us?

F. Scott-Walford OUT!!! Get the bloke in from Palace, Robson, least it sounds like a proper footballing name. We won't win anything with this double barrelled flair named goon

Already over a monkey with 2 days to go, reckon it might fetch a grand!

must be one of the most expensive BHAFC programmes sold!

 

[southasp]

Unbelievably rare. These don't come up very often.

I am pretty sure that this is the oldest know Albion home programme in existence.
I was outbid late on,which on reflection was probably a good thing, as I don't suspect Mrs Southasp would had of appreciated her /our joint Christmas present, even though she did say "surprise me this year" I doubt she would have been expecting to unwrap an old football programme on Christmas morning!

 

[mindyjaja]

Wow, very rare then. Lets hope that it will take prize of place in a BHAFC programme collection.

Especially when she tore it in half unwrapping it.

£1220, amazing money for a football programme

If I had bought that, I might as well have just driven straight to a hotel and thrown my house keys away!

CRAZY price for a programme, but not really surprising.

I'll probably see Peter Irvine later, maybe he bought it..............?

 

[Goldstone Rapper]

Seriously, is there a point to owning such an item for £1,220?!

How is anyone going to get £1,220's worth of value for it, apart from selling it on for an even greater price?

Not much to read in it, and it's not likely that it's going to be the programme that completes someone's collection for that season...
