Cup winning season in 1929-30, red outer covers removed, containing 28 programmes, red cloth covered boards, the spine inscribed gilt ARSENAL F.C. 1929-30, Vol XVIII, a photographic portrait of the Cup winning team bound in to the front, first-team League, F.A.

Cup final Brentford v West Ham United (representative). According to the programme notes QPR's match (issue 32) was the first Division Three game ever to be staged at Highbury. QPR were 'debarred' from entertaining Coventry City on their own pitch or at any ground within a six miles radius of their Shepherd's Bush home. Gillespie Road fell outside of this range and the Arsenal directors obliged the west London side.
