1970/71 - division three
about the programme
Another new cover for 1970/71, predominantly white, with a photo alongside the match details. Just one extra programme, for the FA Cup 1st round tie against Cheltenham Town. The game against Swansea City on 11 November 1970 was postponed, with the same programme being used for the re-arranged fixture later in the same month, with a single sheet insert. Two pre-season friendlies saw 4-pagers, with the mid-season friendly against QPR having a single sheet. The testimonial game for Brian Powney and Norman Gall saw a 12-page programme issued.
