[quote user="grantroederdisaster"]I think in those days it was policy to play FA cup semi final replays on a week day Wednesday afternoon particularly as quite a lot of workers had Wednesday afternoons off. I remember the game (indeed the whole cup run!) well but I''m not sure if the reasons I mentioned about time of the game are correct?[/quote] I know this thread is a bit old now, so my apologies for dragging it up again. I asked my colleague and GRD your reasons are correct. Apparently it was normal practice in those days. Thank you Mr Allcock ( boss )
