A colleague saw a programme for this game for sale online. Alas I've been unable to find a link so any programme collectors here can have a look.
Do any of you more grown up forum members recall the game itself? [Post edited 5 Apr 2022 18:03]

It was Hinckley Athletic, James, and played in December 1954.
Even BigKindo might have struggled to be there in the 8,586 crowd, although he could look more youthful than he actually is!! |  |

I can recall the 3rd round v 1st divn Charlton. The England goalkeeper Sam Bertram played. At one point he took the ball to the half way line before kicking it forward. I seem to recall the admission for juniors in the Pearl St end was 9 old pence. |  | | |

Sounds very reasonable although that depends on what the average kids weekly pocket money was back then. | |

Carrying a golf bag for 3 hours round the 18 holes of Rochdale G.C. got you a 3 shillings and 6 old pence 'fee.' | | | |

I take it that was a popular way for a young lad in Rochdale to earn himself a bit of cash back then. Was it usually one game a week or multiple? | |

It was a hard way to earn a bit of cash. Don't forget very few or no golf trolleys in those days. One round a week was enough exercise and it kept you in Woodbines. or pay your admission for 4 Dale games. | | | |

MY first memories of admission prices ( first game 1953) were 2/6(12 and a half p) for adults and a shilling(5p) for us youngsters.
Memory may be playing tricks but think that is right | | | |
