A neat pocket-size 16-page programme with an unusual front cover that doesn't give details of the opposition but an advertisement for the Lancashire Evening Post. This was the first match of the season at which time the usual bunch of positive cliches is encountered: 'hearty welcome', 'attractive curtain raiser', 'new look', 'lush green turf', 'fickle fortune', 'get right behind the team'. etc. The back cover and inside back cover advertise the new Vauxhalls, Velox and Wyvern, and Ford's Zephyr Zodiac.
