 I've no wish to spoil this thread Timbo, but Workington Town are a rugby league club ~ always were and always will be. It's plain old Workington in football, unless you happen to live in the little Cumbrian outpost where they are comonly referred to as " Workington Reds"........the rugby club accross the road from Borough Park play in blue!

This, you'll notice, is a 6pm Thursday game against Workington. The same evening Darlington played at Aldershot. Workington moved on to Crystal Palace on the Saturday; Darlington not only played at Gillingham on Saturday but they stayed down to face Millwall on Monday.
Meanwhile Torquay United were heading north for their second Saturday/Monday trip of the season: West Hartlepools followed by York. It was one way of utilising the long late summer and early autumn evenings in those pre-floodlight days.
It didn't end there. Later in September we had a Monday evening match against Bradford Park Avenue (5.15pm kick off) who were on their way home from Crystal Palace. Next, for us, it was to Crewe on Saturday and on to Bradford Park Avenue on Monday.
It wasn't scheduled but we were to do similar in April: Oldham and Gateshead in one round-trip.
Gateshead on a Monday tea-time in April. Were you there?
