Programmes through the years

Darlo fan Karl Alexander, who has got a massive programme collection going back to 1945, has kindly sent us images of some of his programmes.
He starts his series with two FA Cup programmes from 1945 against Stockton on November 17th 1945 and Gateshead on 8th December.
Both matches were played over two legs: we beat Stockton 2-0 at our place in the first leg, and won 4-1 away in the second leg. The crowd at Feethams was a huge 9,544.
The game against Gateshead in the second round was in front of 9,765 but we lost 4-2, and a 2-1 win a week later for us wasn't enough to put us into the next round.
