please be aware of a recent spate of reproduction badges in a similar style - do not get ripped off.

I have two of these badges, both different sizes too, had them well over 20 years mind at least

@Erimus74 post a pic of the reverse of your 2 - interested to see - also the difference in size is of interest

the makers name - WH Miller B'ham - should be on the reverse (centre bottom) and the pin fitting should be hinged into a half round open clasp.

Fabulous - that badge is top of my 'wants' list. I've come across several other teams' versions but never ours.

best opportunity would be to go to football badge fairs

programme/badge/ephemera fairs - and be patient - there are so many badge collectors who only collect 'Miller Ball' badges that you have to wait for them to come across an upgrade on the quality of another inorder to pass theirs on - the AFBC annual meet was last month down in derbyshire, but there are football memorabilia fairs in newcastle, all across lancashire and of course birmingham and london - of course prices are rising for rare badges (at some rate) - hence why i said "dont get ripped off"

Yep, I've been to the main AFBC annual fair in the past (at Stafford Rangers' ground) but unsurprisingly the badges for sale were skewed towards Midlands teams and the usual suspects (Arsenal, Man Utd, etc). I'd probably have more luck trying somewhere further north!

Metal home and away shirt badges from 1990-92 through to 2012-13 with a few missing (1992-94 away, 2010-11 home and away and 2011-12 away). These used to be available through the club shop each season but they seemed to stop being available after 2013. The 1995-96 badges were unusual in that the green 3rd shirt was included (the previous season's away shirt with Cellnet as sponsor). I'm sure we never wore this shirt in a competitive match?

Excellent collection

Correct we never wore the green Cellnet shirt

Have you ever noticed that the set of ten home shirts that were sold through the Gazette missed out the 96-97 shirt?

Seemed a bit strange given how 'eventful' that season was!
