I wonder which club holds the record for the same programme cover , over the longest period of years. I think Middlesbrough had more or less the same cover from 1948 to about 1960. I got Bishop Auckland Programmes from 1955 and 1973 with almost identical covers. Blyth Spartans 40s 50s 60s are all very similar , with slight changes. I have a sneaky feeling no team will beat Dulwich. Whilst not identical as such, i have seen copies from pre war up to the late 60s , always the same format.

Stranraer from 1946-7 to either 76-7 to 77-8 had same format throughout, and all 4 page affairs.

Boro had an identical front cover from 50/1 season to 60/1 season inclusive in a buff colour. 48/9, & 49/0 were very similar but differed slightly as they contained an advert on the bottom half of the page.

Stockton had an identical front cover from 49/0 season to 59/0 season inclusive in the same buff colour as Boro. They then changed the cover for 60/1 season and it differed only very slightly through to 73/4 season.

With Bishops and Blyth already been mentioned, it must be something about NE teams not changing their covers.

Rangers from the war until the mid-60's was almost identical every season, same with Celtic.

Don't make Rangers programmes like that anymore! Although the last 5 seasons designs have been the best since 86/87 in my opinion!

I love the big match programmes cover designs for Rangers from the 50s and 60s. Absolute class. Although the Red Star Belgrade one was a bit horrible.
