1963/64 - division four
about the programme
Another season with a pocket-sized programme. Twenty-five programmes issued in total, with one League Cup and one FA Cup issue to add to the 23 league games, as Albion found themselves in Division Four. All issues were 16 pages, with manager Archie MacAulay penning the club notes under his ‘Archie Macaulay says’ headline. Despite nearly half the programme being given over to adverts, this is a very readable programme.
