A Pictorial History
1946-47 Football Combination (Section B)
As the majority of its members now drawn from outside the capital with the inclusion of teams from as far afield as Bristol, Swansea and Bournemouth. This re-modelled Combination was the achievement of West Ham United chairman, Mr. W.J. Cearns, and the enthusiasm with which the project was acclaimed may be guaged by the number of clubs who applied for membership to the competition.
The leagues title was changed from the 'London Combination' to the 'Football Combination' and split into two sections 'A' and 'B'.

NO PROGRAMME ISSUED
The game against Millwall was originally scheduled for 8th February but was postponed in favour of the First team game against Newport County as the original date for that fixture was scheduled for 14 December was postponed because of Fog.
The Charlton game before this one was Postponed, it's most likely the printers thought this game 5 days later wouldn't take place (hence perhaps No programme !).
