Steve's UK NLPD News Bulletin - No. 27: August 2025...Recent additions to database...

Below are scans of some of the recent additions to the database. From top left to bottom right they are:-

1  2  3  

Programme covers (left to right): (1) I only managed to get two new programmes from the FA Sunday Cup this season. Here is one of them from Uttoxeter-based Oldfields FC. (2) I have long wanted a programme from Chase of Chertsey FC, and now I've got one. Turns out they were a junior club but does anyone know if they had a senior team as well? (3) Programmes from the Middlesex League are as rare as hen's teeth. This one is from the newly-merged Eagles Land and Cricklewood FC. The Eagles Land half appear to be an Albanian team which I love to see. 

4  5  6 

Programme covers (left to right): (4) Northern Ireland club Crumlin United FC celebrated the opening of their new pitch with a friendly against Glentoran back in 1989. It seems to me that any club wanting to celebrate in NI always turn to Glentoran who always seem happy to help out too. (5) A bit of a mystery next. I had never heard of Crompton-Parkinson Athletic FC until recently, but there is no year shown anywhere on the programme as far as I can see. Anyone got any clue? (6) West Wales side Margam FC have a long history behind them, having been formed back in 1930. Four different versions of their name later, and a recent promotion, have seen them rise to Welsh level step 6 for the first time ever. 

7   8   9 

Programme covers (left to right): (7) & (8) Two first time issuers next, from Glen Villa FC from Leicestershire and Mutford & Wrentham FC from the Anglian Combination. It is always tricky getting information about new issuers in the lower leagues. I found both of these on Ebay at a very reasonable price which, luckily, nobody else seemed to spot. (9) My last programme this time is from North of the Border, in the shape of new team Bo'ness Athletic FC. Athletic have already passed their local rivals United, and in a very short time too, much to the annoyance of former league club United.
