As a matter of fact the two teams were supposed to also play a return match the following day but it got postponed because of a frozen pitch.
The match programme costed sixpence.
The visiting side were relegated that year - their season was not helped by having had a polio epidemic in the town at the start of the season which had resulted in the town being sealed off for a couple of months, thus leading to a backlog of fixtures.
 
This refers to a record set in one particular match. Alan Ball didn't know at the time that it would turn out to be a record. The crowd was just over 20,000, a figure rarely reached by the club these days. A lot of the crowd may have been wearing cloth caps, and probably walked to the ground -no SUVs in those days and fewer cars, not sure if anyone arrived by sleigh ?????
 
Played on Christmas day 1965, it was the last match in England played on the 25th and Ball scored the last goal on that particular date. Christmas Day football finally ended ten years later in Scotland and is still used at intermediate level in Northern Ireland. Before 1965 it had been regular practice in England unless Christmas Day fell on a Sunday. Over to you.
 
Sorry for the delay...

Film question:
How are the following feature films connected?
Shalako
Universal Soldier
Fire, Ice and Dynamite
The King's Whore
Evelyn

And what is the next film in the sequence? (that would be a giveaway, hence...)
