Millwall Homes - Help wanted (1946/7 and 1947/8)

[amazorblade]

I am wondering if someone could confirm what colour programmes were issued by Millwall post WW2. I currently have 2 different coloured homes v Southampton for the seasons 1946/7 and 1947/8.

For 1947/48 season I have a Pink and a Green programme dated 27/9/1947

For 1946/47 season I have a White and a Buff programme dated 16/11/1946

Are there other colours for these matches which i should seek out - or (hopefully) are these the only two colours used in those seasons?

Hi,

27/9/1946 I have a green copy

16/11/46 I have a green & a pink copy

Other colours used which I have for other matches are: blue; buff; red; white. Not sure what other colours, if any, were used for the Southampton issues.

There was a paper shortage after the war which is probably why so many different colours were used as well as the poor quality of paper.

Hope that this helps
Ian

Thanks Fishy looks like i need to keep my eye open for 4 different colours for each season

I wouldn't get too stressed about it - there may not be 4 for each (that's why I only collect 1).

Happy hunting - the prices of issues from these years has dropped hugely in the past year so you may get very lucky.
