Club shop shut after the game too, was going to get that high quality programme as I didn’t spot them on sale at the kiosks (as advertised).

I left the ground at about 2.50 and bought a programme in the club shop which was quite busy. Too long to wait for the legends' match. I had an appointment elsewhere at 4.30.

It was closed when I went past and said not open till 4pm.

I took £1.50 in cash today to  buy the special edition programme . I wandered around the JW upper concourse looking for one. There was nothing doing so I approached a guy with a supervisor jacket. He was a lovely chap and really apologetic and embarrassed. He said many people had asked the same question. He said all the tills in the concourse had been programmed to sell them but someone had forgotten to take them to the JW stand. He rang the office and asked for them to be sent up immediately. 
He was told it was too late and anybody wanting one should go to the club shop after the game to purchase.

It’s beyond farce this club now.

I got to the ground at 11:10 today. This is much earlier than i usually do as I wanted the 150th thing on the green shirt I bought in the summer. This is something that looks quite good but surely should have been on the shirts originally instead of an afterthought.

After queuing up for 25mins I was told there were too many shirts waiting for printing so I needed to come back after the game. I asked can I leave it with them and pick up after the game. I was told no as it might get “mixed up with others.”

I then went in the jack waker upper to have my pre match pie but they had no meat and potato.

I left the legends game when they announced injury time to again try and get the badge that should have been there originally placed on my shirt. Eventually after another 30min wait I had the badge which does look quite good.

I also haven’t had a wedding anniversary present off my wife this year despite us getting married in August as she gave me an IOU for the anniversary shirt.

I did enjoy seeing the legends + squad fillers but the general organisation at the club seems to get worse every year

The way we are now it is genuinely a miracle that anything happens at all.

Crazy that they haven't released the anniversary kit. Bonkers. Mad.

Exact same thing happened in BBE to me. I asked if I could nip back out through the turnstile to grab one outside but because I had already scanned in I couldn't. So I had to wait and queue for ten minutes after FT for them to open the club shop so I could grab one. I had just assumed they would have them on the concourse. I'm sure they used to?
