Well another item shows up which I had not seen before and to be honest I doubt many other people had either.
A very rare 1922 trial match played almost 90 years ago to the day. A lovely item to add to the collection Well after years and years (and i mean years) 20 to be precise - I finally managed to get a near mint copy of this rare programme between middlesbrough and City played may 1963.
Thankfully it did not cost me anywhere near the £180 an average copy sold for at the start of June. One Happy collector !! As per above a small update of home programmes today...Not had a huge amount of time to get the site updated and with the olympics coming up time will be limited even more !
As for the preseason nothing really exciting, no tour for the city this season apart from a training camp in Switzerland (Basically another holiday to add to the other 5 that most players have taken this summer) !! All images of the 2012-2013 friendly programmes will be on the site when I get them. As for the red shirt issue less said the better. ill let the badge doing the talking ! With a huge amount of activity with managers coming going and staying questions need to be raised about our very own Malky Mckay.
With the Norwich manager deciding hes heard enough of Delia "Lets be having you" and deciding that Villa will be his next challange the bookies have decided that the natural choice for his replacement will be MM. Certainly would be a challenge if he did go there and more worryingly would he take whitts and turner with him ! On the programme front things have been quite quiet with most of the sellers on hols....I did pick up a nice Western Australia v City from the Oz tour in auction last week so will get a photo of that up when I receive it from the auction house. Also managed to bag a match worn 3rd strip away Gerrard shirt which was nice...If he stays would be good to get it signed ! For those waiting for an update, one will be coming soon when I get the time...Unfortunately abnormal shifts and doing a website dont go to well however I have now completed all of the 80s - just need to upload them ! Cheers Matt ! First the red top and then the change of the bluebirds then the possible pulling out of the main investors...It just wouldnt be Cardiff City if we didnt go through this now and again. Certainly keeps us entertained to say the least !! Anyway enough of whats going on in the background, some nice additions to the collection this week a spurs home league programme from 1947 and a 1966 Chelmsford away friendly programme. I was also lucky enough to get my hands on this - I would doubt that there would be many of these kicking about unless they were players issues as they were not on sale to the general public. The shirt is from 2009/2010 season and was only played in until the middle of september...The city had to stop playing in it due to licensing laws.
Just added the early part of the home 80s programmes....Not going to comment to much on the match from last night....we huffed and puffed but west ham showed the proper gap between 3rd and 6th.
You can never say never but I really can only see one division that we will be in next season and that will be the championship... I will add that considering we did not strengthen at all in January we did exceptionally well to get to 6th place. I would like to think that we will get rid of the dead wood that is at the club, and hopefully that stupid bloody one up front tactic will go with it. !! If you have watched as many chamionship matches as I have over the seasons its been proven that a tall striker works....i.e Norwich with Holt, Saints this season with Lambert, Cole with West Ham ...the list is endless ! Anyways good luck city on monday, I would be there but work is robbing me of my weekend and bank holiday! Well the good news is that all the 70s home programmes are finally uploaded to the site...I didn't anticipate how long this job would take however im not going to stop now and cant wait to get this site finished!!
The other good news for me on a personal note was winning a Gareth Bale signed wales shirt from @Vauxhall_Wales on twitter over the flipping moon at that !! Huge game for the city tomorrow against Leeds United so heres to three points !! My only fear is that Mr Warnock will send a side of clobbers out like they did against Reading. I hope this wont be the case as we can't afford anymore injuries !! On to the sour point for welsh football today - Ched Evans ! 5 years in jail - ok he will be out in around 30 months but still he will miss the enjoyment of his side being promoted and miss out on all of the euro qualifiers - Such a waste of a life ! Anyway been up since 5am so ill be excused and will log off for the night ! Up the City !!!!!! More programmes added today, another ten seasons scanned and ready to be uploaded
Well with it getting to the squeeky bum time for the season will malkys old team be out to spoil the party today. Lets hope they do not !
Massive match today if we can get the 3 points however I feel it will be a tough game if Rudi and Miller are ruled out with injury. On the site side of things, there will be a large update this week with all the 1970s home programmes added to the site....slowly getting through them all season by season! C'mon City !!!! |
