Bumper Price for Floriana Programme
Bumper Price for Floriana Programme
Wednesday, 29th Jan 2014 14:54

A programme from Town’s 1962 European Cup tie away against Maltese side Floriana Valetta made £140 at a Lockdales of Martlesham auction last weekend.

Auction manager James Sadler, a Town season ticket holder along with his wife Carly, said: "These programmes are quite scarce, of course, but we expected it to make around the £50 mark. There was a remarkable interest in it, as the result shows.

"There is such a big demand from collectors for old football programmes and we are getting more and more to sell off for people."

At the same auction, a complete set of Town 1938/39 season programmes — the Blues’ first campaign in the old Third Division South - went for £540.

You might want to have a look round the charity shops over there to see if you can find any programmes from that game then!

I have hundreds of Town programmes going back to the 1950's, so maybe I should auction some of them.
Looking at the image of the Floriana programme, I wonder whether this is the official programme for the match or an unofficial souvenir item.
