Does anybody on here know if the Programme stall outside Carrs Barr still ventures out before every home game? I don't get to the ground until 2:50, and I don't see it there at that time. I recently lost some old programmes so I am hoping he still A) runs it, and B) has the ones I need.

The programme sellers nicely sums up the clubs approach to retail.

After 2.45 the footfall outside the stadium and around the turnstiles is at its peak i.e. prime time to sell programmes.

Naturally this is also the time when the programme sellers appear to call it a day.

After 2:45, most people are intent on joining the turnstile queue, not browsing over a wallpaper table. And maybe the vendor would also like to get to his seat before kick-off?

I think the money raised by Graham goes to one of the fans groups (Sixfields Travel ?) ,he's not part of the clubs retail department and as a fan he doesn't want to miss the start of the game.

Try Ebay for old Programmes - some Guy in Wales sells quite a few Cobbs ones on Ebay

So of the £3 I spend on programmes each home game (if I can find a seller who hasn't cleared off) how does that benefit NTFC?

I think you're confusing the normal NTFC program sellers (who're available up to and beyond 3pm I assume?) with the chap this post is in reference to (the guy who sells collectable/archive programmes).

If anybody is desperate for a box load of worthless highly sentimental, extremely valuable old Cobblers programmes, then let me know and I'll bring them to Grimsby on Saturday.  They moved house with me as I couldn't bear to take them to the tip, but they really should go to a good home where they will be lovingly cherished.  I'll even throw in some (all my) back copies of WALOC.

They are free, by the way, even though they are worth millions.

Put them on Ebay - you'll be amazed at the takers. Incidentally I will take a few off you at Grimsby, just identify yourself.
