It is quite usual around this time for clubs to be hanging, as it were, between two interests. The League position cither for good or bad as the case may be, and that of the Cup. Lots of people argue that you cannot afford to risk one aga'nst the other, but if you do you will fall between two stools and lose both. Well, I hardly think our ambitions could soar to the dizzy heights of Wembley, not this year at least. But taking all things in, a good run in the Cun is a good thing for any club and many is the time that the waning fortunes of a ciub have been rescued by a successful drawing card and a decent run on the field. Well, we are not exactly complaining ourselves. Our two matches with Chesterfield alone were responsible for nearly 33,000 spectators and, as Norman is in the habit of saying, “* whichever way you look at it” its really good going. Talking about value for money I don’t suppose anyone expected to be present at 7-30 p.m. and still dizzy at 9-45 p.m., not a bad bob’s worth really, and taking into account the quality of the entertainment. I can assure our public that we shall not let up in any way. Whilst we are in, we shall do our very best all the time and make the most of things to the uttermost limit. We do not regard our visit to Bristol as a foregone conclusion by any means. It hardly needs me to point out that were the quality of the play has been good our lads have replied in kind and in no unmistakable manner. Last season our visitors of today took back one point from Boundary Park. We returned the compliment by beating them on their own ground. The match ended on a very ugly note. As the teams and officials were leaving the ground one chap came run- ning up as best he could and just went for the person of the referee and struck him so heavy that the official was sent spraw- ling in the mud—and there was plenty ! It resulted in the ground being closed for two weeks. We can well do without that sort of thing at all times. FA. 3
