This year Southampton celebrates the 60th anniversary of gaining City status.
On 22nd October 1961 I attended the Argyle v Southampton game at Home Park and have the programme from that day. The front page reads
Plymouth Argyle v Southampton Town.
This date is 2.5 years before becoming a city and to the best of my knowledge, and that of the Southampton supporters I know, Town has never been part of the club name. Does anyone have an Argyle v Southampton `Town' programme from another match, or is this just an error?
