BLACKBURN ROVERS FRIENDLIES

[blueshearer]

Sorry about this complicated list but i am struggling to find out whether programmes even exist for some of these games particularly the ones abroad where there often is only a single sheet produced some of which I have. I have highlighted where someone has confirmed the existence of the earlier ones. If you have any of these to sell or can confirm the existence of the ones where I have indicated "not sure if a programme exists" etc I would be happy to hear from you.

Cheers

Bernie

Can confirm that Chesterfield v Blackburn 68-69 was definitely a non-issue

[blueshearer]

Thanks Alf

Thats helpful - I'm still on the lookout for most of the rest

Bernie

[Posh1959]

programme issued Grimsby home 49/50

[blueshearer]

Thanks - not easy to find I guess

[pastpirate]

There is a scan of the 49-50 game at Bristol Rovers here www.bristolroversmemorabilia.co.uk/1949-1950-4650.html
Afraid I don't have a spare though.
Cheers, Jamie.

Not seen anything about the 49-50 game, I will check

[blueshearer]

Thanks Andy,
I have the testimonials somewhere so I can cross them off. It would be good to know about the 49-50. I have just bought a second hand copy of Toffee Pages but haven't really had the chance to go through yet - would be good if there were similar books about other clubs.

Cheers

Bernie

Bernie

[Stuart-Rovers]

No sorry, it was the last week of my inter-rail and ran out of money at previous game and headed home. Only got Bollebgyds one from that trip

[blueshearer]

Thank Stuart - no problem. I'm always on the lookout for Rovers reserves programmes from pre-1982 if you come across any.

[ddixon]

1994-95 was that the accrington centenary game, they didnt play a friendly game against blackburn,

[Ronsaunders]

No programme from Villa in 67/68

[seand]

Regarding the Dundalk ones.....
1977-78 Dundalk (a)
I have this down as no issue

1954-55 Dundalk X1 (a) - not sure if programme issued
I don't know either.... I've not seen one

[realred]

Single sheet Wxm/Blackburn 67-68.
Got a copy, but not a spare. Difficult and expensive to obtain.
