Description

This pair of original Barnsley FC match programmes from the late 1970s offers a great snapshot of Oakwell during two different league campaigns. Both issues come from the club’s long‑running Oakwell Review series and feature the classic red covers with yellow dot borders and black‑and‑white action photography.

Included in this lot are:
•     Barnsley vs Exeter City – 10 November 1979 (Division Three)
•     Barnsley vs Bradford City – 18 November 1978 (Division Four)

Each programme includes match details, editorial content, period advertising, and the unmistakable design style of late‑70s football print. Sold exactly as shown, this is a great value bundle for collectors building a Barnsley archive or anyone who enjoys the charm of vintage matchday memorabilia.

Barnsley FC Programmes – Exeter (1979) & Bradford City (1978)

The late 1970s were a transitional period for Barnsley, with the club rebuilding and pushing for progress across the lower divisions.

These two programmes capture:

•     The shift from Division Four to Division Three
•     Traditional Saturday 3pm fixtures at Oakwell
•     The bold, instantly recognisable Oakwell Review layout
•     Matchday photography that reflects the grit and atmosphere of the era

Together, they offer a vivid glimpse into Barnsley’s footballing identity before the rise of the 1980s promotion campaigns.
