Very old Pompey Programme
Hi Folks,
Yes I'm a Forest fan but I come in peace!
My father recently passed away and amongst his belongings were a load of old football programmes. Mainly Forest ones but the odd one from other teams.
One that stood out a mile was a very old Pompey one.
It's dated 11/02/1933!
I have no idea why he would have this as he wasn't even alive then and has no affiliation to Pompey..
Anyway, I would very much like to donate it to Portsmouth, whether you guys have a club museum or something similar. I have tried contacting the clubs commercial team but haven't heard back yet, so if anybody could help, that would be great.

Re: Very old Pompey Programme
Does the club still have a historian? I know we used to.
The City Museum has or at least had a fair bit of memorabilia too.
Someone on here will know, some probably went to the match....

Hi Rocky, Condolences for your father and I am sure you will have very fond memories of him, especially if you both supported the same team. You would have shared the same emotions that come with supporting a football club, both good and bad, with him. Thank you so much for your gesture and I am disappointed that our club has not reciprocated a reply, they don't have a very good record recently for their public relations. As Pompey1984 has already suggested there is a club historian and a program like you have will be of interest. I will do some research this end to see where it would be best received.
I hope Forest have a great season except if they are drawn against Pompey in the cup for your sake but, especially, in memory of your dad.

Re: Very old Pompey Programme
Thank you for sharing and I'm sorry for your loss. As someone a bit younger than most on here (sorry guys ) things like this always fascinate me.
You're very welcome on here and whenever we play you guys in the future I hope you'll return to the board and contribute to the match day discussions.

10 years too soon! My brother might have been there but I can't ask him now.
Avatar: Harry 'Brusher' Mills (19 March 1840 – 1 July 1905) was a hermit, resident in the New Forest in Hampshire, England, who made his living as a snake-catcher. He became a local celebrity and an attraction for visitors to the New Forest.No relation as far as I know
