40 years ago and Coventry Sporting borrowed Highfield Road for their Cup tie with Peterborough.
From the West Midlands Lge, they had beaten Bromsgrove Rovers, Oldbury Utd, Halesowen Town. Brierley Hill Alliance and Spalding Utd to reach the First Round - and a 2-0 victory over Tranmere Rovers - to set up this tie.
Which got much publicity at the time due to the disparity between the two clubs.
No fairytale result - Posh won 4-0.
Similar programme to Coventry's of the time. Whoever owned it, kindly left the match ticket inside.
Sadly, Coventry Sporting folded in 1989 having progressed as far as the Southern League Midland Division. I presume for financial reasons.

1946/7 season and a single sheet for a Central League fixture between Sheffield United reserves and Blackpool reserves.
I don’t have the score recorded for this one so if anyone knows please drop me a PM.

58 years ago and a Northern League fixture between South Bank and Tow Law Town.
4 page issue is very much an abridged version of what Middlesbrough issued at the time.
The two clubs occupied the bottom two places in the Northern League table at the time and, given they'd conceded 66 goals in just 15 games (including 9 to Stanley and 8 to Alnwick) it would appear that South Bank's problems were at the back.
At least the club notes are honest about the home team's position..."we are clearly weak in almost every position"
Team captain Waters, deputising at centre-half, is described as "slow"!
Things didn't really improve for them - they finished bottom of the league conceding 129 goals in their 26 games

70 years ago (1945/6 season) and a Football League North fixture between Barnsley and Blackpool.
The programme is a 4 page issue with team line ups and fixtures in the centre and a half time scoreboard on the reverse.
There are no notes, the rest of the programme being adverts.
Then match ended 1-1 with 22,688 in attendance.

64 years ago.
Sunderland 3 Derby 0 (att: 36,131)
Very readable 16 page programme with the team lineups, unusually, on page 2. Which makes me wonder why the club decided not to put the match details on what is otherwise a splendid front cover.
"Lost temper means lost concentration" wrote manager Bill Murray. "The tackling was little short of brutal....(and) it was amazing no limbs were broken"
No, he wasn't referring to Sunderland's previous match, rather a Wigan v Oldham rugby league Cup Final he had attended, and was marvelling at how the players kept their concentration despite the level of GBH displayed on the field.

This is a single sheet from 1968 for an FA Youth Cup 2nd Rd replay between Manchester United and Blackpool.
The sheet has team line ups on the front and league tables and ticket details for United’s forthcoming FA Cup 3rd Rd tie at Exeter City on the reverse.
The match ended in a resounding 7-2 win for United.
There are 2 versions of this programme, one printed with the usual token and this one printed without.

Very basic 4 page issue from 43 years ago for Wisbech Town v Histon.
Bert Dickerson's TV shop is now a unisex hairdressers but Alfred Harrold is still selling his containers at the same location.
I don't know the match result.

This one used to confuse me when I was a kid. In fact, it still does!
The home team are Nuneaton Borough, although there is no mention of them on the front of the programme. I'm impressed with the draw for a new free car.
It was a Southern League Premier Division match against Hereford United from December 17th, 1965. I don't know the score, but United finished third that season, and Borough 14th.

60 years ago (1955/6 season) and a Division I fixture between Arsenal and Blackpool.
An excellent 16 page programme was issued crammed full of reading, photos and statistics. Even better there are no adverts.
This must be one of the best programmes of this era.
Blackpool were top of the league going into this match but were turned over by 4 goals to one in front of a crowd of 45,068.

78 years ago (1937/8 season) and a 1st Division fixture between West Bromwich Albion and Blackpool.
An excellent 12 page programme was issued with plenty of reading material, fixture lists and tables (including Central League and Birmingham Combination).
Blackpool won the game 2-1 with goals from O’Donnell F. and Buchan.

50 years ago - but this game never actually took place. Match was postponed.
I wonder whether the autographs were obtained on the day or at a later date.

68 years ago.
Huddersfield 2 Derby 1 (Angus Morrison) att: 27,752
Reasonably readable 16 page programme which even, unusually, has a small "contents" box on the front page.
Part of the editorial warns against complacency following the club's draw away to non-league Colchester in the 3rd Round of the FA Cup. Highly prescient as the underdogs ran out 1-0 winners.
Tickets for the game at Layer Road were being advertised - 3/- for the stand and 1/6d for the terracing.

Monday 21st December 1953
FA Cup, 2nd round, 2nd replay (at Selhurst Park, London, SE25)
Att: 4,882
Brighton & Hove Albion 1 Wrexham 3
Bert Addinall (Brighton - in Palace shirt) and, below that, Wrexham's Tommy Tilston, who both played in this series of matches and who would both join Palace within months
One speculative question - on a Monday afternoon, 4 days before Christmas, how many Wrexham fans would have witnessed this superb victory? |

I don't know whether any of the rest of you did this but back then I would use some of my pocket money to buy a postal order for 25p or so, then write a (hopefully) polite letter to the Club Secretary asking for a copy of the programme for such and such a match.
99% of the clubs (including Luton here) would reply, often with a compliments slip, sometimes even a wee letter signed by someone (if I was really lucky, as with East Fife and Hartlepool, the manager!). The only club who didn't reply and kept my 25p were....well, I won't embarrass them. Suffice to say that if I ever meet Mike Ashley, I'll inquire as to whether or not it was put to good use
This was one of the programmes I received by that method. Absolutely worthless, I know, but brings back great memories of waiting for the postman before I headed off to school (back when posties used to deliver twice a day!). Then getting into all sorts of trouble for reading the programme instead of trying to figure out what the heck Shakespeare was on about this time.....
Luton 1 Derby 0 (att: 12,862)
