Museum de Latique Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 (edited) A first day cover is a specially designed envelope, bearing newly issued postage stamps which were postmarked on the first day that those stamps were placed on sale by the Post Office. The football covers are always associated with a special match rather than a new issue of stamps although many football covers have a number of different stamps on them as a full issue of stamps was usually used. Football covers also include a insert card giving details of the reason for the cover. Here is a list of the covers featuring Oldham Athletic (as I know of) - also as a completist I have tried to collect each cover with a different value stamp for each issue. 1974 Division 3 Champions - Oldham 1 Manchester United 0 - 3 1/2p, 4p, 4 1/2p + 1 1/2p charity stamp, 4 1/2p, 8p - 250 issued 1976/77 FA Cup Northwich Vics 1 Oldham 3 - 6 1/2p 1982 Burnley FC Centenary year - Burnley 1 Oldham 2 - 15 1/2p - 250 issued 1990 Littlewoods Cup SF - covers both legs v West Ham 6-0 & 0-3. - different scroers autographed and name printed on envelope - 19p owl stamp, 19p standard stamp - 201 issued 1990 FA Cup SF - Oldham 3 Man U 3 - 19p train,plane stamp, 19p ironbridge 1990 FA Cup SF Replay - Oldham 1 Man U 2 - 20p 1990 Littlewoods Cup Final - Oldham 0 NF 1 - 15p - Oldham postmarked 1990 Littlewoods Cup Final - Oldham 0 NF 1 - 20p - Wembley postmarked 1991 Return to Div 1 - Liverpool 2 Oldham 1 - 1st class (boot), 1st (eggs), 1st (bird), butterfly, 1st (mallard), 1st (rainbow) 1991 First home game in div 1 for 68 years - Oldham 3 Chelsea 0 - 10p owl, 22p dinosaur - 247 issued 1993 First Swindon game at home in premiership - Swindon 0 Oldham 1 - 24p gosling 1994 FA Cup SF - Oldham 1 Man Utd 1 - 1st rupert, 1st teacher, 1st tree, 1st dan dare Edited January 5, 2017 by Museum de Latique Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest nonaenever Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 I still have a pristine unopened can of J.W. Lees Wembley Lite - a pilsner lager brewed especially for the Littlewoods Cup final in 1990 - it's a gorgeous thing in Latics' colours, featuring the club crest at that time and the twin towers. Can't imagine what the lager inside would taste like now - some would say it was bad enough when fresh! Bloody hell - was it really nearly 27 years ago?!

Guest nonaenever Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 You beat me to it - how weird! Both posted Latics beers at the same time! I wonder if our "vintage beers" might be worth as much as some of the vintage wines Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

piglinbland Posted January 5, 2017 Share Posted January 5, 2017 Don't know if their worth anything but mine's clear with yeast floaters in the bottom! Came from the post-promotion Civic Centre celebration and player's lash-up, for which I managed to wangle tickets. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
