First and last games in the league

[slightfold]

So that I can complete my listings of all the first and last games played by those teams entering and leaving the league since the war, I need the following information about their opponents:-
Gateshead 59/60 home and away last season
New Brighton 50/1 home .. .. .. ..
Rushden 05/6 home and away .. .. .. ..
Workington away first season
Obviously I do not have these programmes and would love to buy any of them if anyone has any for sale.
In any event the information will enable me to provide the list for the members as a download in the same way as the excellent first/last grounds list recently available.

The last New Brighton home was v Chester 2/5/51 and last away v Shrewsbury 5/5/51
The last Gateshead home was v Walsall 25/4/60 and away v Carlisle 30/4/60
I have no idea if any friendlies were played after these final league games.
I am pretty sure that the first Gateshead non league issue was away to Stranraer 13/8/60
Hope this helps

Many thanks to both Geddon and Hibernian for their information. All I need now is what was the first away for Workington 51/2 ? Hopefully someone will know. Regards.

Of course there is no confirmation that a programme was produced but atleast its a starting place.

Thanks to everyone for filling in the missing information for me. It goes to show that this is the ONLY forum to be, where collectors help each other. It can only go from strength to strength.
