1953 Program Wanted Rotherham v Leeds Dec 1953

[Lordgable]

Hi
My friend is having his 70th bash at the New York Stadium in December.
Although he lives in Cornwall he is a mad keen Millers fan.
I’d like to buy him the program closest to his birthday which just so happens to be against my team LUFC.
I’ve searched the usual sites so hoping someone on here might be able to help me find it.

That's a great idea Lordgable, unfortunately I cant help, but I hope you're successful in your search :-) It's also given me an idea for my 70th, which I will pass on to Mrs Sota :-)

It is indeed a very good idea.
I dont mean to hijack the thread, but at least it bumps it as well, in case somebody hasn't seen it, who might help.

I've just had a look at what mine would be.

Home to Birmingham City 18th Feb 1967(day before) FA Cup fourth round

Apparently 0-0, but looking at scores written on front, of a program on ebay, possibly lost replay 2-1.

Blimey though, I didn't realise FA cup had a fourth round 😆

Is that next week?

If you can't get it, as an alternative you can use the front cover on a birthday card from one of the online companies.

No yer cheeky bugger. 😊
It’s a great idea though so my friends from my first 40 odd years can attend and I can have another bash here for the ones from the last 20 odd.

Quick update…I couldn’t get hold of the program. I was quoted over£100! So front cover of a Moonpig card was the answer.
We had a great bash on Saturday night. Even though you lost on Saturday, Glyn had a great time and got to sit in the dugout!
Thanks all and good luck for the rest of season. MOT.

Good to hear and hope he had a good time.

Unfortunately we didn’t lose legitimately.
We had a ref who thinks it’s within the rules to score a goal using an arm , and then prevent a goal being scored with an arm.
The refs ‘use of hand is ok rule’ is only for one team as well, not us.

I’m not bitter, just thought you needed to know
