Pablo Bonvin Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 I hope this was in midweek. Look at the crowd. How did SYP, or whatever police force it was called in those days, cope? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

theowlsman Posted January 22, 2019 Share Posted January 22, 2019 The Queen was crowned in 1953, the same year Sir Edmund Hillary and Sherpa Tensing reached the summit of Mount Everest, and Sir Stanley Matthews' Blackpool won the FA Cup. Not a lot of people know that. What was supposed to happen though was that the Queen was going to climb Mount Everest with Prince Phillip, to prove her strength as a lady monarch, in trying times following the end of the Second World War, Hillary and Tensing were to be special guests at the FA Cup Final, and Sir Stanley Matthews was to visit Hillsborough and sign for Wednesday. It was all covered by HITC on August 27th 2010. We called the Matthews deal off after he asked for two weeks off in Bognor Regis before starting and a sixpence appearance bonus for every appearance beyond 50 games. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good news is you can get that 5 season ticket offer as a 65 year old and not be put off by any pro-rata calculations. You also get a wooden rattle and a rosette saying Play Up Wednesday for free. It'll be just like old times for you. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
