Anybody got any?

I had one for the Northampton game about 1972 which was called off due to snow. When the gane was played a couple of months later, the club sold the same one!

I'm sure I've got one or two RUFC ones where the original programme from a postponed match just had a new sticker put over the date and time.
Probably postponed due to weather so nothing as serious as the current events

Got Millers v Man City postponed and rearranged game from a season in the 60s. RUFC did take the trouble to print a new version for that rearranged game, but that was not always the case. As well as the weather, Cup replays sometimes caused postponements in the old days.
Probably fairly easy to track down a few "ghost" programmes on eBay for anybody who wants to collect them

I had Ghost England football shirts for the 1994 World cup in the U.S.A.
We were in Florida in 1992, England 1994 World Cup shirts for sale so I bought 6 shirts, then England did not qualify, after finishing third behind Norway & the Netherlands in the qualifies.

Surely the Millers v Leeds 1971 programme was re-used. The tie took place Tuesday night.¹

I think it was Jocks.

Must be plenty around, 24,000 there that night.
