It's the story of the 1933-34 season when we won the old second division title,  and Man. Utd were 3rd from bottom narrowly avoiding relegation to the 3rd div. north. It's a brilliant read. There's an ad for restaurant car train excursion to Preston to see us play PNE. 7/-  return!  That's about 35p in today's money.

I think we may have got United after the Jevons Liverpool game, but didn't Arsenal knock them out? We live in hope.

That’s right about the Arsenal game - I remember fergie played the stiffs and they lost 4-0. Let’s not forget, if we’d beaten Brighton last season, we’d have played Utd in the semi at Wembley - I still dream about ‘what if’! Ridiculous really,  it that would have been the most surreal experience.

The last time we played Manure was the 1947/48 (?) season when we got relegated from Div 1. I think we actually beat them and drew with them that season. The Future is Black & White.
