On Monday, 27 December 1965, Bristol Rovers hosted Bournemouth and Boscombe Athletic at Eastville Stadium in a Football League Third Division match.

The game concluded in a 0–0 draw, with both teams unable to break the deadlock. This result was part of a busy festive period, with the reverse fixture played the following day, where Bournemouth secured a 1–0 victory. 

This is a genuine matchday programme from the goalless draw at Eastville. It remains in good condition, with no major flaws, although the score has been written in pencil on the front cover and there are some signs of light mottling as pictured.
