I've picked up a copy of BPA v Middlesbrough League Cup 1965, its unusual as it has a white cover (no picture), as opposed the green and white covers from the 60's.


Any value in it?

Cheers

Jim,

Avenue produced paper covers for the 1963/64 and 1964/65 seasons in an effort to reduce costs, i.e. by not having a glossy cover. On first look it looks like the prgramme does not have a cover.

I paid £3 for a copy with team changes a couple of years ago. Are you looking to sell it on? If so I would like to replace my substandard copy

I have the full set mine only cost me £1.50, my word hasn't inflation mounted everything.

He is right for two seasons they produced a white with green print programme then went into a more fancy arrangement in 1965/66, green programme with a picture of the main stand in the middle of it.

HI all BPA supporters,

A bit off-line but can anyone confirm the highest Post-war attendance at Park Avenue was 25,655 vs Bradford City on 30th Sep 1950 for a Div 3 (N) game?

If not, can someone correct me!

If so, has anyone got any info on availability & cost to obtain this one?

Thanks in advance for the info !!!

Just incase you have your book handy what really was the highest attendance record before the war.

There is a reason why they did a small Programme, all clubs produced a pocket sized programme because of its cheapness, even some of the top plight clubs had them, Bradford P A had them maybe about the late fifties to the middle sixties they started losing supporters and a lose of this money lead them to sell off Kenny Hibbert (WOLVES) and Kevin Hector (DERBY COUNTY).
