1944-5 Football League North

[bisphamseasider]

I am trying to expand my Blackpool away programmes from 1944/5 season but whenever any come up for sale it is always the same clubs such as Burnley or Manchester City.

This leads me to think that some clubs did not produce anything for this season.

Can anyone confirm that the following clubs definitely issued or definitely did not issue programmes in 1944/5 season.

Accrington
Blackburn
Bolton
Oldham
Preston
Rochdale

I've never seen a Bolton home from that season.

Blackburn did not issue 40-41 to 44-5 inclusive and yes i have seen Rochdale 44-5 season.

Thanks very much oldbolt and posh1959.

Thanks to those who got in touch on here or via PM.

It is likely Preston also didn't issue this season but I still need confirmation either way about Accrington and Oldham if there are any collectors of those clubs on here.

I have not seen Football League North games during this season from Preston, Oldham but i have a 1941-2 Preston home programme which says they did at one point. As United only played away to Oldham of all the clubs you have mentioned during 1944-5 this is all i can come up with but as I have already said on this thread Bolton did produce for the War Cup Final at home v MU so as "Oldbolt" is a Bolton collector and if he says he has never seen any of the League games then it looks likely they never produced even a single sheet but of course we all know they did produce in 1945-46.

Thanks Leslie for the additional info.

It shows it can be productive to 'bump' up a thread every now and again in the event it was missed first time around.
