Manchester United 1946/47 No.13 query

[Red C]

Hi folks

It's well known that number 13 in 46/47 is the postponed Portsmouth game but also that some covers from the postponed game were used for the Bolton game. So there are some No13 Bolton ones and a lot of No14 Bolton ones.

But I was looking at my copy of the No13 Bolton one and I was surprised to find that it isn't just the cover from the Portsmouth game, but also the second sheet.

To be clear, the cover is No13 and comprises pages 1, 2, 11 and 12 of the programme. But also the next sheet, comprising pages 3, 4, 9 and 10, is from the postponed Portsmouth game. The third (and final) sheet comprises pages 5-8 including the team page, and is clearly a Bolton one.

Also, the programme has three staples. The top and bottom one aren't attached to the centre page, they just attach the first two sheets together.. The middle staple attaches all three sheets together.

Can anyone shed any light on this? I thought only the cover sheet was from the Portsmouth game.

Cheers.
