Is there a section on here for Football Programmes? If not, will there be so in the future? They have - in my opinion - a similar collector interest to 45 rpm vinyl records
A football program arm of 45 Worlds - using the same format as the very successful 45 Cat.com - is well worth thinking about and would be equally successful. Watch as the list of Sunderland AFC - or whoever your team may be - programmes gradually grows
Many historic football programmes are unobtainable for most people. Give people a chance to show off their collection

Definitely not just a UK thing - should be little argument about countries too! Format of magazine world would work well I think - if not included therein. (Many progammes nowadays seem to call themselves "matchday magazine"s)

Rugby certainly has programmes, I'm sure other sports do too as stated above.
Some vintage programmes are quite handsome things.
I suppose if you did do a world you'd want fields for "sport" and "team" (if applicable) to allow grouping/sorting.
There'd be programmes for events as well, such as Wimbledon etc, where it's not related to a specific match (I assume there must be a programme at Wimbledon??? Can't imagine them missing the opportunity to make some more cash!!).
Didn't cricket used to have fold-out cards with all the players listed?
Football ones would be great. In fact, some modern ones are sold on the high street, especially cup-final programmes. You can get them in WH Smiths, so they might qualify for magazine world.
But a dedicated site would be fab. Ideally you would be able to enter home and away teams with a search function allowing you to see all your team's away programs as well as/instead of their familiar home ones.
Don't forget good old motor racing. Programmes often quite lavish productions, and definitely collectable, from many different countries.
For football, German clubs mostly have/had a match-day magazine for each home round.
You might be surprised at the number of Rugby League programmes that could be added - mirroring football communities in the north of England, programmes go back many many decades. I remember in the 70s the routine of going to a football match on the Saturday (buying a programme) and then watching an RL match on the Sunday (buying another programme). I even think I have some amateur RL programmes somewhere from the 1970s/80s. And I would imagine our Australian friends in particular would have numbers to upload.
Now my mind's racing - what about motorsport? TT (motorcycle) programmes etc
I think I might still have some odd football programmes. Wimbledon vs The Top Ten All-Stars (Charity Match at Plough Lane with Radio DJs, TV Personalities etc)
The Wimbledon Tennis (I think daily ? programmes are gettable for free if you know whom to ask at the end of the day).
Found the 50th FA Cup Final Programme(typically folded vertically to fit in a jacket pocket) at the in-laws whilst clearing there. Probably no other programmes as I have a feeling access to some grounds when he was a lad was jump over the wall.
Used to have one the Castrol dirt track (farmer's Field) car racing programmes. Motorsport can be dangerous- we were behind hay bales with ameuters driving their hot-rods, rally minis and just about anything else 4 laps three feet away. In a field somewhere in Dorset.

Since joining this site (via 45cat), I've discovered the urge to check, identify, and catalogue everything I own... and even begun to eye thigns I don't!!!!
Things which seem to follow on as a natural progression from the music worlds and magazines are, as said above:
Football (Sports) programmes
Tour and festival programmes
T-shirts and other Merchandise (music/arts/sports etc.)
Books (music perhaps at first)
I even found a couple of Premier league (football) fixture list suppliments the other day, but not sure what exactly qualifies as a being a "magazine", and what is outside the definition.
I'm even checking my underpants for serial numbers, matrices, and catalogue numbers!

Some have few details, the main information being on the multi-pack outer. Difficult for sensing sizing when rummaging in the jumble sales for something to wear. Would be difficult too identifying bootleg issues unless the stiching type identified.
