In an attempt to catalogue every occasion when a match programme has been issued for an Ards game, Adrian Monaghan has compiled the following database of known programmes.

The aim is, that by releasing this list to the wider Ards support, further information can be gathered and the missing gaps in the catalogue filled. Nothing has been assumed when compiling this list and a programme is only considered to have been issued when an actual existing copy has been found.

We appeal for the help of any supporter or programme collector who might have something to contribute to this list. If you have possession of a match programme not already included in the list and can send to us a scan or photograph, then please get in touch.

We are aware that for a number of seasons, details such as opposition, date or competition did not appear on the front cover. In these circumstances we would be grateful to receive scans or photographs of inside pages that might reveal proof of which game the programme relates to.

If you have something to contribute please contact web @ ardsfc.co.uk or speak to Adrian at any Ards game.
