The Programmes – 1924/25

The 1924/25 season is a fascinating one for programme collectors because it sits at a point where the matchday programme was becoming more consistent in format, yet still varied enough that each issue feels distinctive. Paper quality, cover layouts, club crests, typography and even the style of local advertising all combine to give you a clear sense of time and place — and that’s exactly what makes programmes from this era so enjoyable to browse and build around.

This page brings together a snapshot of what survives from 1924/25, offering a window into the week-to-week rhythm of inter-war football. As you scroll through, you’ll notice how programmes capture far more than a team sheet: they preserve contemporary language, ticketing details, ground information, competition branding and the small bits of club identity that don’t always make it into official histories. For collectors, those details matter just as much as the headline fixtures, because they help date items, compare print runs, and understand how clubs communicated with supporters at the time.

Use this section as both inspiration and reference. Whether you’re researching a particular club, looking for examples of design changes across the decade, or simply enjoying the nostalgia of early twentieth-century football culture, the programmes from 1924/25 are rich with character — and they’re a reminder of why collecting old football programmes remains such a rewarding hobby.
