Was our FA Cup game against Lincoln in 1962/3 the most postponed game ever?

40000 fans yet no tickets were sold for the game . There is a good quiz question in there
Due to Sunday trading laws, admission was by programme only (Was Div 1 not PL at the time)

Longest slide in a football game (and he is still going I believe) Mr Kastaneer
Longest stay at a Football club if he is still here (Julian Gray)

Surely we were the first team to beat another team which played us wearing our own kit.
Chelsea . We beat them 3-1. Frank lebueof/ lebourf/ lebeurf/ lesbian threw his Cov shirt to the floor disrespectfully as he walked off.

Spurs wore our away shirt years before in the 4-3

Yeah most postponed English fixture, rearranged 15 times.

You are probably right. A long time ago! I remember listening to the game on BBC Radio Derby which kept fading in and out. The local radio at the time was BBC radio Birmingham who obviously couldn't be bothered with us that night.
The mention of buying the programme to gain admittance to the first game made me think back. I have a vague recollection that I had to walk from home in Binley to Highfield Road that day. Buses normally ran on Sunday so the fact there were none that day was maybe down to the three day working week, imposed at the time due to the miner's strike?

FA Cup?

Does that mean that after years of being right every time I’ve been wrong twice in one thread?

A gate was left open for people who didnt want to buy a programme at normal match admission prices. No idea if anybody marched in for free but was done to comply with the law at the time.
