Was a full programme ever printed for this match?
I notice that this team sheet cost 25p. so was this a hastily re-arranged match and only a team sheet available?
Some great players on both sides in this one.

Wasn't this one of those Sunday team sheets to enter the ground with?
Probably a full size programme too if have thought. _________________ Not Forgotten; Allwright, Greechan, Hagan, Kennedy, Littler, Purver, Robotham, Saunders, Shields |

Yes, it was when Sunday games started and officially the clubs couldn't charge entrance fees so they charged for a teamsheet or ticket.
I'd have thought there would be a proper programme though, Palace certainly issued them. |

I might be wrong but this was the winter of power cuts and miners strikes. Programmes during this winter were reduced in size and midweek games were kicking off at 2:30 as floodlit football was banned. The Arsenal v Wolves game was played mid-week with a 2.00pm kick-off and only a 4 page issue produced. _________________ http://willjam100.wix.com/wolvesindetail |

Nottingham Forest beat Manchester City 4-1 and then were at home to Portsmouth in the 5th Round.
This was also played on a Sunday (17th Feb) and I have a full Forest programme for the fixture, along with a similar team sheet, although mine is priced at 50p.
Pompey also played two home Sunday games that season, against West Brom in the league and also in the 4th Round of the FA Cup against Orient.
On both occasions a full programme was issued, as well as team sheets.
There were however team sheets in different colours, with different prices, depending upon where you were in the ground. I have three from each game, but there are probably more.
Pete and Paul are quite correct, it was to get around the Sunday trading laws. The clubs were not allowed to charge entrance fees, so you purchased a team sheet, and entry was free.
If I remember rightly, the club had to provide a free turnstile for those people who objected, but did not have to advertise which turnstile it was. |

The clue is in the "OAP" at the bottom right. This was clearly the sheet that got you admission, 25p for OAPs, and 50p for facup1939's full price one. |
