Post subject: Oxford United Postponed Matches
Reply with quote

So, after a while of collecting Oxford programmes I keep staring at the same list of issues for postponed games where I don't have anything and am not sure in a number of cases if I am chasing shadows.

Listed below are the games in question and if anybody is able to confirm the existence of a programme or indeed confirm that nothing was issued I would highly appreciate it.

Next to each game I have put my own opinion in brackets based on information received over the years from a number of collectors.

28/12/65 Walsall v's Oxford United (Mixed opinion but I would say no)

13/01/68 Colchester United v's Oxford United (Pretty sure this sold on E-Bay a couple of years ago but have never seen it)

27/12/69 Oxford United v's Preston North End (There is a missing gap in the volume number sequence which would imply something may have been printed but I have never seen it)

26/12/70 Oxford United v's Orient (View seems to be yes but have never seen it)

06/01/71 Oxford United v's Burnley FAC re-arranged (Opinion is no)

11/01/71 Oxford United v's Burnley FAC 2nd re-arrangement (Referred to on a thread on this site having been sold on E-Bay but have never seen it)

31/01/76 Bolton Wanderers v's Oxford United (game called off on the day and vaguely remember seeing it offered in Sports Programmes catalogue in the early nineties...)

15/01/77 Mansfield Town v's Oxford United (no indication that a programme was produced)

13/01/79 Bury v's Oxford United (no indication that a programme was produced)

03/02/79 Mansfield Town v's Oxford United (no indication that a programme was produced)

12/02/79 Mansfield Town v's Oxford United 2nd re-arrangement (no indication that a programme was produced)

22/03/83 Brentford v's Oxford United (re-arranged game played 5 weeks after the original match was postponed so would seem odd not to produce a new programme or an insert but have never seen anything)

19/02/85 Fulham v's Oxford United (again, re-arranged game played 5 weeks after the original match was postponed so would seem odd not to produce a new programme or an insert but have never seen anything)

20/01/87 Blackburn Rovers v's Oxford United FMC (date that the re-arranged game was played but some 2 months after the postponed date. Have never seen anything re-issued)

It has now been established that programmes were produced for Oxford postponed games against: Brighton (A) 65/6, Portsmouth 69/70 (A), Spurs 74/5 Smithson Test (H) and so I have not listed them above.

If anybody can help to fill the gaps I would be most grateful (including of course anybody having one of the programmes and willing to receive an offer Smile ).

Alternatively if there are any other questionable issues for Oxford please feel free to post.

Thank you.

Many thanks for the suggestion.

The list above is kind of the culmination of many years work and studying different sites (including oxprogs). Aldo1966 posted a list on this forum about 10+ years ago of a similar nature. The problem is where he said certain programmes were issued I can't find anybody that has one to verify the claim.

I have a postponed programme from March 1963 Oxford v Crewe from memory I think it's a single sheet.

I do feel sure that Boxcat will already have the Crewe p/p 2/3 along with the 4 different coloured versions for the rearranged fixture 15/5. Doubtless he also has the Tranmere away p/p from the same season which is considered RHS by some Oxford collectors.
The original post is quite specific in its request for only those certain possible p/p issues, and hopefully some members might know about some of them.

Thanks for your post slightfold, I do indeed have the Tranmere postponed issue. (I also have the Crewe programme capetown3673).

I guess like many os us on this site we live in hope that one of the illusive postponed issues we seek may surface one day. I think maybe 2 or 3 of the home dates I've listed could have programmes but after 30 years of collecting I've yet to see anything.

Still, you never know....

Just do not give up my friend, i had been searching for three Kettering home progs for ever and had all but given up on them and then i obtained two of them within a couple of days of each other so just goes to prove thay are out there somewhere.

And know i only need the one Kettering home or away for 76/77 v Wellingborough NSCQF 26 1 77 been informed one was issued a single sheeter but i have never come across it in twenty years of searching drispite a comprehensive search.... But has you say we all live in hope.

I totally agree with you. Part of the fun is not knowing and I have experienced this syndrome of acquiring two much sort after items within a couple of days of each other. It's quite bizarre and has happened to me a few times.

I've seen your posts about Kettering vs's Wellingborough and I wish you all the very best in tracking it down. Somebody somewhere out there has it for sure!

Ian, the York home is quite common, I just looked on Ebay £2.50 no bids yet. The Tranmere postponed is rocking horse shite, and you might need deep pockets if one surfaces. I have only ever seen one in well over 10 years. When I bought a small collection of 62/3 Oxford aways for my First season collection I was lucky to find my copy in there, but I know quite few who are still looking.

Hi,

I thought the Tranmere could be very rare.
Thanks for pointing out the York one though , will keep an eye on that.

Hi, Our records of Portsmouth postponed programmes shows that on Friday 26 December 1969 the Portsmouth v Oxford United game was postponed due to a flu epidemic in the Oxford team. A programme was produced. This was the second season running when an Oxford v Pompey game was postponed on Boxing day as the previous season the game at the Manor bit the dust due to heavy snow.

Thanks Chris, although I was aware of both games, postponements and issue of programmes I was unaware (or had forgotten) that the 69/70 postponement was due to flu in the Oxford team! I shall add it to my notes.

I had a Brentford Season Ticket for 1982-83 and I only have the 15/02/83 Programme with no new programme or insert. I would have got any update if there was one. So I would say that the only issue was for the original date of 15/02/83.[/b]

Hi Rocky,

Yes that is the list. As it was posted in 2009 I wondered if any more information could be gleaned some 10 years on.

There are a few programmes that Aldo1996 refers to as existing for which I (or anybody else I know) have never seen the programme.
