1971-72 (55 years ago today) match reports and photos

[Silent Blade]

My dad decided to buy us season tickets for the first time. My seat was A85 in the BLUT. I was wondering if we would be good enough to compete in the first division but my dad was confident that we would finish in the top half.

Our skipper welcomes our new signing (our only signing between January 1971 and Summer 1972)
