Forest postponed

[westyorksnffc]

Hi all, I'm new to the forum, I wondered if somebody out there could help?

I'm trying to find two programmes from postponed games that to be honest I'm not overly sure exist?

1976/77 Forest v Notts County (December 1976)
1973/74 Forest v Portsmouth (December 1973?)

I've shearched high and low for these and I'm beginning to wonder if I've wasted my time?

I'm not sure how complete this list is but from my own research and what I've got this appears to be the full postponed list where programmes for Forest homes were printed/issued back to 1965:

1965/66 v Fulham
1965/66 v Sheff Weds (abandoned)
1667/68 v Leicester (abandoned)
1968/69 v QPR
1972/73 v West Brom (FA Cup, abandoned)
1976/77 v Oldham
1978/79 v Chelsea
1979/80 v Middlesbrough
1981/82 v Notts County
1983/84 v Man Utd
1990/91 v Liverpool
1995/96 v Spurs (FA Cup, abandoned)
2003/04 v Gillingham
2007/08 v Leicester (LC, abandoned)

Are there any I'm missing?

Thanks, Craig.

I am sure I can remember a game v Luton being postponed in the late 80's or early 90's. I can remember getting into the trent end just as they announced it.

There was also an FA cup 3rd round 2nd replay v Crystal Palace that was postponed in in Feb 1991. not sure if there was a programme for that one or if they did print one and used that for when the game was eventually played on 28th Feb

I will check my records and let you know, I will also see what I can find out about the Notts county game

You have also missed of the game v Leeds on 24th August 1968 that was abandoned due to a fire in the main stand. There was certainly a programme for that one that is not too difficult to obtain.

Forest v Southampton - 16th Feb 1977 abandoned after 47 minutes. Played on 22nd March. There is a programme for both matches.

The Oldham game which was postponed in Jan 1977 was played on 27th April. There is a 4 page programme (suppliment) for this game.

As far as the postponed Notts County game (originally planned for 29th December 1976) is concerned there was a programme produced as the game was only cancelled on the morning of the game. The programme for the re-arranged game states "this issue of the review was produced in readiness for the original game which should have been played on 29th December... A new outer cover has now been printed but certain items inside are out of date"... Now this suggest that there was a programme produced which will have a different cover and will not have the statement above. Whether they were destroyed or not is unclear, I certainly doubt they went on sale to the general public with the game being postponed in the morning.
