Spare CUFC Programmes
David Weir has contacted me to say " I recently went through all my footy programmes and have most of the CUFC home programmes from seasons 83-84 to 93-94, including ones against the sadly defunct Wimbledon and Wycombe's first ever game in the league. There are some other odds and sods, including some rather obscure Sherpa Van Trophy mini-match magazines and Issue 12 of 'So Jack Ashurst, Where's My Shirt'! I just want them to go to a good home and cover any postage costs."
Please contact David at david.weir@mitie.co.uk and he will send the spreadsheet listing to any interested parties.
