Great programmes Leigh and interesting to learn the cost of watching a game at Plainmoor in 1955. I wonder just where a fan would stand for his two shilling( 10p) ground ticket? as there are dearer prices for four stands
A and C four shillings( 20p)
B and D five shillings(25p)

Brian Lancaster is listed at left-back in that Herald Cup programme and he was also a regular in the reserve team which won the Western League in 1960. He'd have been coming up to nineteen at the time of the Herald final and went on to play eighteen first team games in the 1961/62 season.

He'd have been coming up to nineteen at the time of the Herald final and went on to play eighteen first team games in the 1961/62 season.  Brian lived up the road from us when I was growing up in St Lukes Road, Aller Park and worked as a sales manager for what became Newton Motors. After leaving Plainmoor he played in the Western League for Bridgwater Town along with Brian Handly who went on to become Commercial Manager of Barnsley FC before his untimely early death from a heart attack. Correct me if I am wrong, but other Plainmoor contemporaries of their's at Bridgwater would have been Ray Spencer and possibly George Northcott. |

Stockport County have been in touch about this very thing ahead of our Cup match next weekend! Does anybody know the United line-up and scorers from the match with Birmingham City under the floodlights?
Cheers

Just a little more added interest on the floodlit games played in the mid-fifties. This is the fixtures page from the third round FA Cup programme against Birmingham City on the 7th of January 1956. As can be seen, down in the bottom right hand side is a list of Floodlit Matches with the date of the game, opponent, venue (all home), result and result from the previous seasons corresponding fixture. Funnily enough in the Huddersfield FA Cup programme from the previous season there is no mention on the same fixture page of any floodlit matches so this was obviously a feature added to the list for this season. (I will, if wanted, post the whole programme on the programme pages, but didn't want to step on Tim's shoes if he was thinking of doing so himself, or chance luck as it is for the THIRD round and so will keep until after the our second round game this weekend anyway!) |

Here's the programme cover for that game... I'll put the whole thing in the Programme Room (after checking that Tim hasn't done so already) It makes great reading.. |

This match poster was found hidden with some old theatre posters. This is from Torquay Uniteds third ever game under floodlights down at the old Pennycross Stadium in Plymouth on 23rd February 1953.  |
