My City Fixation - Programmes - What's Yours

[City_Shirts]

Here is a few pictures of my City programme collection that might interest fellow Blues on here to see, I have been collecting for over 25 years now and would dread to think what I have spent over the years buying them, My first City programmes were giving to me by cousin, The then City defender Mick McCarthy, Which started a fixation for collecting City programmes which is still going as strong as ever today.

I have well over 4,000 in all competions and a complete set of League, FA Cup and League Cup home and away from 1965/66 to the present season although I’m missing the final home game v Stoke from this season if any one has a spare they are prepared to sell.

Home & Away 1959/60 - 1979/80

City Home 1980/81 - 2010/11

City Away 1980/81 - 2011/11

At the moment I’m just two City home programmes short of having a complete set of homes from 1958/59 and 39 aways from a complete set of aways from 1959/60, Fell free to PM If anyone can help with list of wants I still have I would be interested buying form.

My collection featured in this season treasure trove article in the league game v Aston Villa programme.I will pass the collection down to my youngest lad Harvey-James in the future once I have finished collecting or grown too old to collect as he’s as mad a Blue as I am.

Couldn't make it as it was a midweek fixture as stuck for travel with being a Southern Blue.

How fumbled ;-)

Was looking to get a full set of FA cup programmes but some of them are £20 - £30

I love collecting programmes. I don't have as many as chaps on here, but to me they paint an important picture in any clubs history.

Not only in regard to those managing or playing, but those supporting with the various anecdotes we all have about how we became supporters or whatever.

Replica shirts. I've owned each one since I began attending matches in 1998 and have got rid of very few of them. They've been donated to good causes or been so stained with beer, pies, sweat, blood and tears that they've been chucked.

The Programme collection at the top is very impressive.
