Is this the OSC buying Star Wars items and Stanley programmes, paying up to £200.00 for them ?

eBay My World - accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

£200? You've lost me completely, Nothing on that page comes over a Tenner, let alone £200.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Seen Jeff's post - no bother.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Sorry latest item bought - not on feedback yet - Crewe v Accrington Stanley programme 1961-62 bought for £199.99. Check on completed items on ebay for Crewe v Accrington

CREWE ALEXANDRA V ACCRINGTON STANLEY 1961/62 LAST GAME on eBay, also League Fixtures 1958-1969, League Fixtures, Football Programmes, Sports Memorabilia (end time 08-Jan-08 21:46:09 GMT)

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

yes it is. kinda

it is an ebay account set up by me in order to sell Official Supporters Club Products. In order to set a Buy It Now price you must have a feedback of at least +10 so I purchased some products that I would have normally have got on my own account, that in turn enabled us to receive feedback that now allows us to set Buy It Now prices rather than auction prices.

The programme was bought through this account as were several other items of Stanley Memorabilia. Most items have been paid for by me or paid to me through my personal bank account and I then reimburse or get reimbursed at the following OSC meeting. The money for the programme will be coming out of the budget for the Exhibition and after the exhibition it will remain a valuable asset of the OSC for many years to come

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

I trust that clears everything up Jeff?

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Members who regularly attend and contribute to meetings/events were contacted beforehand and were in agreement that this was an investment for the exhibition and forevermore.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

It clears it up but I could have got you one cheaper.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

With all due respect, if that is the case,then can I inquire as to why you mention it now, when for the past few months the OSC has been asking for memorabilia items so that we can include them in the upcoming exhibition?

Not a dig, merely a question :)

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Does this mean the OSC have a budget to buy items of memorabilia?

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

no, it was decided that this particular couldn't be ignored as we weren't aware of any around the club. As it will become an asset of the OSC we decided that it wouldn't be a waste of money and could perhaps increase in value over the years as one went on ebay about 18 months back for £312.

We are pretty much entirely dependent on donated items of memorabilia. Anything we receive can be collected just before needed and returned shortly afterwards.

We will as a matter of course be seeking insurance for all items to ensure that we/you are covered.

If anybody has anything that may be of interest to either lend or donate then please get in contact with me via PM on here

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

'Memorabilia items' covers a wide range, no one has asked for anything specific or identified anything that is wanted.

I am pretty sure that Rob Heys bought one around 18 months ago. Incidentally this Crewe programme was selling for between £300-£350 before Stanley got back into the league, now it is selling for £100-£150, that is why it was on 'Buy it now' for £199. The last Stanley home programme in 1962 against Bradford City was selling for around £250 before Stanley got back into the league, now it is selling for £50-£100. The value of all Stanley's home and away programmes have de-valued now that they are no longer an ex-league club. May I suggest that if there are any specific items wanted for the exhibition a request be put out on here, you never know what people will come up with.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

firstly it wasn't on buy it now it was the starting bid of £199.

I think the fact that we have asked for ANY stanley memorabilia covers programmes aswell. It is hard to be specific about what memorabilia we would like until we have been told what is out there! There have been a couple of threads about this aswell as asking for stories of any stanley memories

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Can I answer this one, as been one of the main people asking for stories & Memorabilia here.

The reason is simple because we welcome any forms of memorabilia from any time period of stanley
Stanley Villa/ASFC pre 1921 - No doubt there is any thing from that small period but if there is let us know

Accrington Stanley 1921 Ltd [1
921-1962] Anything at all come forward with, programmes, photos, badges, cups, letters from club or by club to players or even fans/directors/sponsors/donators, scarfs, shirts, hats - whatever that had the ASFC 1921 -1962 official stamp, signed stuff, novelty items of the time, ASFC footy cards, posters, season tickets, tickets, kitch style or novelty items of the period relating to stanley, film footage, & dont forget stories from the time too that again is non specific but any big matches attended, 1st home match of entering league 1st time, last match before the doors closed in '62, etc etc

Accrington Stanley 1968 - present, easy to get hold of period of entering the league in 2006, but again same applies, programmes, pics aka kipax, season ticket stubs, tickets, sponsors lounge after dinner programe [which i have 1 already so know they exist], noveties, scarfs, shirts, signed stuff, film aka touchline tv & redash, the 1st league home match against darlo - the march back into league via ultras - stories as you tell it, etc etc

Now can you see Jeff why we cannot be actually specific, because when u break it down Stanley have done a hell of a lot!!! So basically will take whatever fans/owd-current players/staff etc offer to the exhibition, im sure everyone or most people have at least 1 of the above in lists:D We have enlisted steering group members also OSC committee/members to oversee various parts of the exhibition in sections BUT we all work together to help anyone who wants to help with various parts of the exhibitions & avail on Accyweb.

Please let Rob know or pm aka maccawozagod with any MEMORABILIA specifically

Please let me aka pm stanleymad with any STORIES you wish to share & tell

Please let Lesley aka pm Harwood red know of any PICTURES/PHOTOS

Please Gayle know or pm her if you wish to VOLUNTEER/or help in other ways.

Please if you are historian or locally knowledged as well as stanley historically knowledge please let or pm OGGY know as he is compiling a TIMELINE of ASFC pre 1921-present.

Any other questions or queries please ask any of us or just post it hehehe:D

Hope that answers a few questions:D

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

...and don't forget, StanleyMad, there's also the 1962-66 non-league at Peel Park period - an era that many forget, but nevertheless, part of Stanley's history!

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

This is the bit I've been waiting for, what value will it be?

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Hehehehehe, are u thinking of bringing your wonderful piece of memorabilia ??:D

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Depends :D

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

No. He's thinking of nicking all the other stuff! :o

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

KSH you offering as part of the exhibition the lorry that was the carnival float? lol

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Insurance will be sorted out nearer to the time when we have an idea of what we have. Mr D has offered his services as our Insurance chappie and we'll be having a chat soon. I would imagine that options run from £0-£10000, then to £100,000 then to £1m etc. Plus the library will be probably have some sort of insurance built in to our hire costs under their normal public liability and or theft insurance.

Just to re-iterate what Stanleymad has said, we really need anyting that is of interest, particularly pre-62.

Everything since 68 is pretty run of the mill but we will have plenty of stuff due to the fact that it is commonly available. BUt if you do have anything particularly unusual from this period then please get in touch. Pre 62 there may not be much around as merchandising operations weren't what they are now so replica strips etc probably didn't exist and our only hope for things like this is from ex-players.

Programmes do seem to be in plentiful supply of sorts but again we couldn't really fill a room with them, but if it was a certain game that was a certain something then fair enough - there has to be a story to tell about it.

What we want to do is generate a timeline of certain events, milestones etc and then try to link those back in with corresponding photographs, oral memories through a speaker and so on.

Beyond that we need to 'pretty' it up with as much memorabilia as possible. We have had pledges of unused season tickets from the fifties, autograph books, England caps from ex-players, possibly a shirt or two, cigarette card collections. From programmes we have the last League programme (the Crewe one) followed by the next league programme (Chester away), also the last non-league programme at Woking and our first home match to Darlington. One or two of those are obviously recent and easy to get hold of but as first or lasts they are of use because they depsict the differences of the time etc. I'd really like a copy of our first ever programme after 68 if anybody knows of its existence?

We'll probably borrow back the shirt collection from the Crown to add some colour and depth so again if anyone can add to that collection then we can produce a modern timeline of shirts, We particularly need Scott Alty shirts and earlier.

I have personally been trying to add to my own badge collection particularly OSC badges and have now got six badges, two of which I believe to be reasonably old and one of which I believe to be quite old. If anybody has any of these then I'd really like to know if only for personal research if they don't make the exhibition.

We are trawling the cellar of the Observer and Telegraph for any pictures that may be of use. This will probably be done as when we start getting the memories down and we have something to research against. If you tell us a story about when we held Liverpool to a draw at home in the FA Cup and then lost 2-0 away then we can correlate that to a picture of the fans waiting at the train station. Were you one of those fans?

When I did one of the radio interviews I was talking to the receptionist about why I was there and she told me that her dad used to take her to Peel Park. "it was always rained and it was always foggy as we walked up Avenue Parade" What?? every week?? but that is her memory and how she will think of Accrington Stanely anytime she hears the name. Do you remember the feeling of excitement as your dad dragged you up Burnley Road or Avenue Parade? how did you feel as you waited in the queue at the ground? were you awestruck by the sight as you stepped onto the terraces?

We have a copy of a letter sent to a player in the aftermath of the resignation basically outlining that his services were no longer required (thanks Gregor) goose pimply, hair raising letter that reminded me of why I detest Bob Lord (not getting into again though). Where were you when you first heard the news that Accrington no longer had a League Football team? perhaps you cried, perhaps you were sick, perhaps you ran out of school and started scrumping apples in a furotic rage? That memory could provoke quite some emotions in a few people and will provide excellent material for us.


As part of the exhibition we will be producing a CD containing some of the stories we gather. This will be given out for free to all who attend (or at least the first however many) and should also be available online for a fee if we have any left. I would hope that maybe something on there can eventually be used in media broadcasts such as Match of the Day instead of the bloody milk advert - although we'll probably still have to put up with the Last of the Summer Wine type view over Peel Park!

Please offer anything at all that you may have and let us be th judge of whether we can use it or not. Secondly, don't forget to come to the official launch on the 19th and maybe offer your stories.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Oh pleasssssssseeeeeeeeeee

or do I have to resort to violence :D:rolleyes:

Just imagine it in it's own glass case!!!!!!

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

What season did that happen?

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Can i have a guess:D:D

3rd round of FA cup away, Liverpool versus Accrington Stanley, result 0-2, 1955/6 season.................... is that the one??:D

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Yea but you didn't play them at home first :D:D

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

My mum went by train to that Liverpool game, I'll ask her if she'll talk to one of the committe about her memories of that day

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

I don't know of any time Stanley drew at home with Liverpool and lost 2-0 away in a replay. Perhaps macca can give us more detail.
I have the programme plus ticket stubs for the replay in 1955-56

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Cool, let me know if she will & would she mind that recorded??

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

In the past I have been told that the Stanley supporters followed the crowd to the ground but unfortunately Everton were at home on the same day and quite a few followed the wrong crowd and ended up watching Everton. I don't know if it was true but a few people have told me that.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

I've heard a different story on the same theme. Apparently quite a few fans asked locals for directions to the Stanley match. At the time, there was a rugby team called Liverpool Stanley, and they were mistakenly directed to their ground.

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Will do, don't think there'll be a problem - she's told me the tale often enough :rolleyes:

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

LOL cheers Accymad:thumbsup:

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Given the famous :rolleyes: Scouse sense of humour, are you sure that would have been "mistakenly" ? "Mischievously" perhaps more likely :confused:

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

I'm trying too but I can only see an image of it in a skip :rolleyes:

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

:eek: it definately wont end up in a skip

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Thats what we thought last time :mad:

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

Ahhh i get u, but this time its in the hands of the OSC not the clubs hands, u will get your stuff returned & if anyone wishes to keep it with the osc after then [at this stage we dont know whether we can keep a little exhibition a mini one at the club after the main one is over - that has to be discussed nearer the time]it will be thro the osc.:D

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
 

When does this exhibition start anyway? got a date yet?

Re: accringtonstanleyofficialsupportersclub
