aldo1996 Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Hi A bit of a long shot. I’m a collector of Oxford United football programmes from 1960 – present day. I’m trying to find the following programme 22/03/1975 - Oldham Athletic v Oxford United - I believe that there is three different versions of this programme (Unless anyone knows differently), two with action shots in the word latics down the side of the programme cover and one with just plain white in the word latics. The one I’m looking for is the one with plain white in the word latics Any help in pointing me in the right direction to being able to get any information or to be able to get hold of a copy would be gratefully appreciated Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Museum de Latique Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 That is amost correct. There where three base covers printed at the start of the season and the match details printed on top for each game. At the start of the season a different base was used for each game but around November different covers started to be used for the same game. After the Manchester United game at Christmas all three covers where used for each game. The white ones (albino) are printer errors..

LaticsPete Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 I've got copies for this match and am happy to discuss letting you have the white version - it has punch holes but otherwise very good. The front cover has, as you say, the action photos missing from the word Latics and also just a blank outline of the 3rd Div trophy which Latics won the previous season. The back cover, an advert for Lees Lager, similarly ha the photos missing. PM me and we can talk! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess from what you have said that there is in fact two programmes I don't have. Thanks Richard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richard -- do you collect teamsheets and can you advise best place to get hold of some on Saturday? The easiest way I remember which ones I have from the letter I, one has four players in it and the other has a player appearing to do a diving header. If anyone has a copy of the other one I'd be interested as well as the white one. I'm only aware of one from the 88/89 season also. I don't collect teamsheets, not enough space with my 4500 programmes as well. I will send you a PM with contact details of someone who might be able to help you with getting a teamsheet though.

LaticsPete Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Gary Other than the white version, the other I have has four players - Wood, Whittle, McNeil, Garwood - in letter I and Whittle scoring with penalty v M Utd in letter C Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LaticsPete Posted December 6, 2016 Share Posted December 6, 2016 Gary, P.s. Have got two versions of the progs v Portsmouth, Bristol City & Hull All one version with as per Oxford I described above.
