Some lovely images of Festival of Britain.

So I guess that's a No! to my original request

Bringing this thread back into play

Does anybody have an image of Northampton v Progress Niedercorn or even better does anyone have one to sell?

Details here.... http://home.online.no/~smogols.....195152.htm I think one or two friendlies in the North in May 1951 were billed as Festival of Britain matches too. Among the games in NI were (programme issued unless indicated) Ards v Haarlem no programme known Cliftonville v Haarlem Glentoran v BVV (currently on ebay) Glenavon v BVV (now Den Bosch I think) Irish FA v Gold Coast amateur International Northern Ireland v France senior International Welsh League v Irish League (played in Wales) I suspect there were other games in Northern Ireland. Home Farm v Birmingham is sometimes listed as an FoB game but I'm pretty sur eit wasn't and the programme makes no mention of it. There are others not listed on rsssf such as Rhyl v Dundalk, South Liverpool v Cork Athletic and Holyhead v St Patricks Athletic.

Belated reply - West Ham also played at Clapton FC on 16th May 1951 - no logo on the cover but centre pages confirm it was played for the Festival of Britain fund

I'm selling it on eBay - offers close Sunday evening
