It does look a bit like that! Not me, I was never any good at staying between the lines.

Don't think I did, but I have two copies of the programme. There's bugger all reading in it.

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

Alas no Grecian involvement in the FAC 3rd Round in January 1973.A full Saturday of Cup games & a few cracking crowds..22,000 at Peterborough stands out.Derby under Clough were the reigning League Champions at the time.

 

[Alistair20000]

8,500 at Margate.

Shame the bleddy Gargs are there winning

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

35,000 at Turf Moor.

Iirc Dave Watson equalised for Sunderland at Notts County in injury time.Sunderland of course went on to win the cup as a 2nd Division team that season.

 

[Grecian 1901]

We played Lincoln away in a league match in front of nearly 4000, goals from Fred Binney and Dick Plumb in a 2-2 draw.

Opening day results for 1972/73 :12th August.

A rare hammering for Leeds in those days.Though they played most of the game with Peter Lorimer in goal.

It would have been very pleasing for Chelsea fans.
I remember their being a fair bit of residual bad blood between the two sets of supporters as a result of the two FA Cup final matches in 1970.
