There is no evidence that a programme exists for this game.

Neither Blackpool or Blackburn collectors that I have spoken to over the years have ever seen a copy for this game.

BUT if the game was called off late on, then programmes would have been printed. These presumably would have been destroyed with none of them ever surfacing over the years.

That means one or two would no doubt have survived and who knows one day one may appear on Ebay.

It has to stay on the list as an "unknown issue" unless we can find out that the game was called off a few days beforehand and in plenty of time to prevent programmes being printed.

The Tottenham postponed was never issued, just the actual game in may.
