[Houston_Blade]

Poor crowd and could easily lose or draw, not ideal.

Bert's memory seems to think that one round when we both were drawn at home we kicked off at 2.45 and them at 3.15 (Or vice versa)

3rd January 1970.

Blades v Everton kicked off at 2.45pm, Wendy v WBA kicked off at 3.15.

2-1 wins for home sides

4 different clubs, total attendance at the two matches was 58,290. Only 30 minutes separating kick off times. Hooliganism rife in the early 1970's.

SYP was formed in 1974. Not sure which body was policing Sheffield in those days but they just seemed to get on with it.

You've got their name wrong, it is Preston Bloody North End!

I thought it was Preston Nob End but I could be wrong.
