Old "Last" Programme [ R & D v Kidderminster Harriers ] April 25th 2011

Post by Dazzler »

As part of some recent sorting, I found a few original copies of the final programme used at Nene Park, back in 2011.

This was a fan produced one after we'd heard there would be no official programme. As I recall the takings went to the Dale Roberts fund at the time. Formic and Dave Mason put it together and co-ordinated, and generated the relevant print files for me.

I then drove down (whilst they were still editing) and printed it overnight in London on our fancy office duplex printer with approval from the company I worked with at the time at no cost. Finished printing 6am and brought it back to Nene Park for 10am.

Then as I recall a few volunteers (Warren et al) stapled them in the Kimberley Suite ready for distribution. I can't currently recall how many we made, but was a few hundred I think (looks like about 400 from some old emails).

I think the club still got fined for not having a matchday programme, as we didn't have the requisite Adverts as I recall, but I think that didn't really matter at that stage..in hindsight.

Not sure if there is any interest in this - though I have had a few enquiries in the past, but hadn't managed to locate where they were until recently.

From this season - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010%E2%8 ... Conference


This is the front page. These are from the original batch (most are stapled).

If any interest, I'll probably drop these off to the club shop for them to handle as required.

Already have a copy kept from then but I didn’t realise (or maybe appreciate) how last minute it was all done! Massive thanks and congrats to all involved for that, what a crazy time that was
