1962/63 Division three
about the programme
The 16-page pocket-sized programme continued for 1962/63, a season dominated not by football, but by the weather. Albion only played 5 games between Boxing Day and the beginning of March, as the country became gripped by the ‘big freeze’, with the temperature in brighton remaining below freezing for 27 days. The season eventually ended in mid-May, with Albion relegated again. The 23 league programmes were supplemented by 1 home programme in the League Cup.
