1954/55 - Division 3 (South)

about the programme

A real mixed bag for this season. Most issues were 12 pages but no less than 6 games had a 4-pager. There was one postponed game where a programme was issued, after heavy snow on the day of the game. The programme for this one is very rare, as most of them were destroyed. The re-arranged date was at the end of the season, so we got a bonus programme. We are starting to see more cinema listings, with the Astoria and Hippodrome both featured at various times.
