Hi Gavin,

I can confirm that there were programmes issued for the matches you have listed against King's Lynn.
I have attached scans of the covers, if you require anything else, please get in touch.

I have a spare of the August 1962 programme, it does have a corner missing, if you are interested get in touch and I can send a scan if interested.

1972/73 Leeds v Doncaster Rovers was a friendly and a single sheet programme was issued.

I don't have an image i'm afraid but know there was certainly the single sheet produced, relatively hard to get hold of.

Chesterfield away,Friday 11th,August,1967 was single sheet issue.
The game was only attended by 1,058 therefore low print run.

Chesterfield away 70/1 ? The only home friendlies that season were:Watford,Oxford United and Sheffield United.

Donny v CFC 48/9 was identical to Rovers standard league issue.

I can confirm that there was a programme for the South Liverpool v Doncaster Rovers Friendly match dated 23rd April 1951 as l have a copy, and its signed by Peter Doherty former player manager who was in the Northern Ireland squad , in the 1958 World Cup.

[Retrosmith]

I am not aware any of the three games v Grantham Town exist as I don't have any of them in my collection.

Only seeing this now.

Nothing known for

1951/52 - assume this is Cork Athletic.
1949/50 Transport FC (Away), Coleraine (Away), NW Ireland XI (Away),

I think there is only one Glentoran v Doncaster programme too but can't recall which one. I don't have easy access to my stuff at the moment so can't do scans or check.

Was there a Linfield v Doncaster game in 46/7? My understanding is that a programme appeared on Sports offers list many many years ago and subsequently made loads of Wants Lists etc. It was definitely listed as having a programme produced by NI collectors. However on further investigation it was a mistake by Roy and should have read Lincoln v Doncaster 46/7. I think somebody did some research and couldn't find a game either. That is my recollection.
