I also note that only one third of my Belfast mail had the cancel with the remainder arriving with the usual orange coding across the envelope and stamp. I also note that mail posted to BT address from Liverpool received the standard Warrington mail Centre cancel and not a football slogan. I also note the use of the Prostrate Slogan on Belfast Mail on 13th May.

The marking was applied at the Northern Ireland Mail Centre, addressed to a BT postcode. The quality of the print was poor - the third line of the slogan and the date line were unreadable.Johnnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-31437244630058133152013-05-15T16:58:54.456+01:002013-05-15T16:58:54.456+01:00Romford (RM postcode area) Mail Centre applied the...Romford (RM postcode area) Mail Centre applied the Bobby Moore slogan yesterday to my mail item addressed to a friend in IG11.

Thanks for the reminder. I'll put them on the main FH post now.<br /><br />As for the George Best postmark, I have it from a very reliable source that this one was happening, and nothing was said about any others although I agree it would have been logical to have the same arrangement as for Dr Who. I've asked a customer in NI. I know that the RM office that arranges the Dr Who postmarks was in Belfast, although the trial copies we have were run at Leicester. Again, just a week really isn't enough.Ian - Norvichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16436130277706268046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-61379575088648114.post-88268110574682952602013-05-13T21:15:15.676+01:002013-05-13T21:15:15.676+01:00Ian

I think it is more likely that all the Football Heroes have their own slogan<br /><br />Incidentally have you seen cylinder nos on the Football heroes booklet? In a batch of 50 I couldn't see any although I may have been looking in the wrong place<br /><br />John EmbreyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
