Festival of Britain

[hydemaine]

My latest collecting project are programmes from the 1951 F.o.B I'm collecting all clubs involved and I'm especially looking out for Manchester United v Red Star and Manchester City v Wacker .
Thank You.

For reference, there is an interesting thread from a couple of years ago about FoB programmes.

Hi thanks for the information.

How do I navigate on here to a topic a few years back?
Genuine question I'm not sure how you do that.
Regards
Dave

Just go onto the search facility and enter key words.

I remembered there was a good thread about FoB from a while back and just entered "Festival of Britain".

This brought up all threads mentioning "Festival of Britain" and it was fairly quick to then find the one I was thinking about.

Glentoran v BVV (Netherlands), Festival of Britain, 14 May 1951.

Not for sale unfortunately. Sells in the £100 range.

My contributions, I wish I had more...

Not a programme but a 24 page FA booklet of FoB fixtures.

This is not a definitive list because there were many changes and additions after the initial fixtures were drawn up, but nevertheless a nice piece of FoB memorabilia.

There seems to be pretty comprehensive list of what was played here too ...

Not sure the linesman with the orange flag would've been too popular with the visitors.
