Jesus Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 I've just got an email from my director with a link to this little beauty. Mrs Never To The Dark Side is going to kill me. Get your tissues out John..... This is a lot at an auction for the original 1909 FA Cup programme where Bristol City were finalists. Details Description: Description: An exceptionally scarce official programme for the 1909 F.A. Cup final Manchester United v Bristol City played at The Crystal Palace 24th April, THIS IS THE FIRST TIME A 1909 F.A. CUP FINAL PROGRAMME HAS EVER BEEN OFFERED FOR AUCTION, official one penny match card, line ups of teams in field formation to the front, player listings to the reverse together with their height and weight, extensive advertisements to both sides, folds and some old sellotape repairs where the folds have developed into splitting, but overall in good order relative to its 103 year age. This programme represents Manchester United’s first ever appearance in a Football Association Challenge Cup final, and was the first of their record 11 F.A. Cup wins to date. This match also represents Bristol City’s only ever appearance thus far in a F.A. Cup final. The final tie was settled by a Sandy Turnbull goal for United midway through the first-half. Estimates £18,000 - £22,000 Surely the club should be bidding for this? http://www.the-saleroom.com/en-gb/auction-catalogues/graham-budd-auctions-ltd/catalogue-id-2851537/lot-14037728?utm_source=GB20+auction+announcement&utm_campaign=2abe2c3ba0-GB20&utm_medium=email Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NiceRed Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 You'd imagine a lot of United fans would be interested in this, given it was their first final. Didn't Scott Davidson buy or bid for a runners-up medal for this game, back when he was Chairman? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CotswoldRed Posted April 25, 2012 Report Share Posted April 25, 2012 Unfortunatelty we played ManUre. With this in mind such a programme will always go for big money. If we had played Rochdale it might go for a few quid less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
