Manchester City v Sheffield United Boxing Day 1962. Is there any City or Utd fans out there who can confirm there was a programme for this postponed fixture?

Thanks Darren for the reply, both games between the two were postponed over the festive period, at the start of the bad winter that year. I have the two as you mentioned at Bramall Lane, but I once heard there may have been 1 or 2 produced for the directors possibly??, which few people knew about for the one on Boxing Day at Maine Road.

I Have asked loads of people regarding this and all have said there was not one for the postponed game at Maine Road in 62/63

Hi There
Unfortunately you are correct pal there is a programme for the postponed game at Maine Road Crying or Very sad

there is one which has appeared for sale from a Ex City Collector i know but he decided years ago to sell his collection and he had everything. anyway the one for sale is on his latest offers list he is asking for a minimum of £100 though and unfortunately his copy has the last 4 pages missing from it but if your interested i will forward you his details. if you have an email address pm me and i will forward you a picture of the front cover??
Many Thanks
Regards
Darren

no i don't have that one either unfortunately can't afford to spend big on programmes at the moment, i have never even seen one for sale before, how much is it worth??

Its good to know that it does exist and also that my original source of information was correct. It's a bane of collecting I suppose, we all encounter the 'is there an issue for that match' syndrome, over the last couple of seasons, I've been told of several United matches where no programme was issued. Since then, I've picked up a couple of them. Back to the Man City/Sheff Utd programme, it's a pity the programme's incomplete or I would probably have had it. Once again, Pagie, thank you for taking the time to find out. SB Thumbs Up

Hi There

further information regarding this programme

Hi Darren
Thanks for your note back. Yeah I'm fairly confident its the only one in existence the Sheff Utd postponed home! Just an absolute pain that the last 4 pages were missing. It was from a bound volume aswell which makes it even more bizarre that the other 4 pages were missing???!?!?
Cheers
Phil

do you know anyone else who owns one of these programmes??
