Newry_Villan Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 Stumbled across this on social media, a little bit of history. Founding father of the Football League. First game of the season playing the mighty Wanderers. Lists Wanderers starting line up but not ours. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted September 8, 2015 Share Posted September 8, 2015 A 1-1 draw with Wolves in front of a 2,500 crowd with Green getting our goal. We ended that first season second Wolves were third. 6d (2.5p) admission would have been around £2.27 today.I would have rocked up with a 4-wheeler though and paid that 2/6! Thanks for sharing this one Newry-Villan. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stevo985 Posted September 9, 2015 VT Supporter Share Posted September 9, 2015 Wanderers will never get anywhere playing White and Wykes in the same forward line. That Jack Addenbrooke is a moron. They'll never win anything with him in charge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
