1974/75 - division three
about the programme
1974/75 saw another price increase, from 7p to 10p. For this, we still got 16 pages but the page size was larger. The cover was all blue with a small image of a Dolphin (a short-lived attempt to impose a nickname!), above the match details. The 23 league programmes (actually 24, because the postponed game in Jan ‘75 saw a programme produced) were supplemented by 2 League Cup issues and 3 for the FA Cup fixtures. Two friendly programmes were produced, a 4-pager for the game against Ipswich Town in August 1974 and 16 pages for the Frankie Howard Testimonial game in March 1975.
