Lockdales tour the country and have an open day or two in Merthyr in a couple of weeks, so maybe the idea of an auction house coming to this area saves the trouble of taking all the stuff elsewhere. Although Anthemion in Cardiff would have been more conveneient or SPortingold as they seem to be the experts in football memorabilia, although their owner died just before Xmas, but their January auction went ahead last week. But there again may be it's picking an auction house in Ipswich to appear that the source of the lots is not from this area? But maybe the club are juts not interested, but that contradicts what has been previously stated above. Maybe there is a contract between the auction house and the vendor , that if the lots are withdrawn then sold privately then the auction house can charge fees based on the estimate? A bit like if someone take tehir hosue off the market from an estate agent and tries to sell it privately.

Watch this space I think over the next few days.
