...was in 1970 and Freddie Goodwin was the manager. We won 3-0 at Walsall but, for a little trivia question, where was the game played?
the table below makes interesting reading. only 2 teams were promoted and i think it was orient and luton who took those places. When we played Reading at home, over easter, there was a crowd of over 32,000 and the game was the commentry game on national radio, quite something for div 3!
