Weds 16th May 1951 (my mum's 33rd birthday)
Festival of Britain
Crystal Palace v Nancy
Result 1-2
4 pages only, back page an advert for a coach firm
Didn't know much about Nancy till Tony Cascarino joined them in 1996 and then, when the ROI picked their team, Cascarino (Nancy) would be called up. That was an unfair slur on a decent striker whom I had the pleasure of meeting at a party one evening when he was at Gillingham and going out with a lovely young girl in our Accounts dept. At that stage, his only connection with ROI was the pint of Guinness in his hand.
He dumped this girl (Jo) soon after and she was heart-broken. What a bounder! |

16 May 1951
Festival of Britain
Sheffield Wednesday v Frem.
A nil nil draw. One of the common Festival issues. I was going to put on Gillingham v Vervietois but it isn’t where I thought it was.

17 May 1947
Friendly: Carlisle v Bolton Wanderers
Gate receipts from the match went to the Bolton disaster fund. In March 1946 a crush at the Railway end of Burnden Park during an FA Cup tie with Stoke City resulted in 33 deaths and an estimated 400 injuries. Details of how the accident happened and of how the match was allowed to continue are quite harrowing and can easily be found if anyone wants to know more.
The 1946/7 season was badly delayed due to the very harsh winter of 1947. Bolton had finished their season on 10 May but Carlisle still had 3 League matches to play after the friendly.

18th May 1963
Division III
Crystal Palace v Carlisle United
Result: 3-0 (Burridge, Long, Allen) Gate: 10,242
Line-ups
Fixture List
So on 1st April Palace were one of many clubs who had 14 or so games left to play. This was the 12th of those, and also the second of four games in 8 days to finish the season off. I'll try to dust off the Southend and Barnsley programmes on the appropriate dates. |

You beat me to it today as I was going to put on the same programme. It wasn’t one of Carlisle’s better seasons, as despite having won their previous two home games, Carlisle were relegated.
Playing right back for Carlisle that day was Hughie Neil, a man who, before joining Carlisle in 1961, had played a few league games in Scotland for both Falkirk and St Johnstone and also spent 3 years on the books at Rangers without playing. Hughie played 247 times for Carlisle before retiring in 1969 due to a back injury. He was well liked and respected at Carlisle and eventually became chief scout. He was killed in a road traffic accident in November 1978, while on his way to watch Meadowbank Thistle v Berwick Rangers.
Hughie is still fondly remembered by many at Carlisle. For those of you that know Brunton Park, the sports centre on the corner of the ground by the away fans section is named the Neil Centre in his honor. |

19 May 1951
Cumberland XI v Newcastle (at Workington)
Cup winners, Newcastle, won this one 6 goals to 5 with around seven of the cup winning team named on the team list. Notable absence being Jackie Milburn.
This match sometimes appears in the list of Festival of Britain matches; however, it could just be the usual Cumberland FA charity match that was played at the end of most seasons in the immediate post war period.
The programme is printed on very poor quality paper and like the FOB match v Shamrock is 4 pages. The Shamrock issue specifically states that it is a festival match. The issue now shown doesn’t. Not a lot of reading material on this one.

19 May 1954
Glenavon v Port Vale (Billy Cush benefit match)
I came across this while looking for something else. I think it’s fairly common and I bought it cheaply a few years ago from eBay.

Not quite so far East....
Monday 20th May 1963
Division III
Southend United v Crystal Palace
Result: 1-0 Gate: 7,962
Refreee - Jim Finney (Hereford). Well well. Just 12 days earlier, he was refereeing Scotland v Austria at Hampden Park and he abandoned the game on 79 minutes due to rough-housing by the Austrians, fearing that "somebody would have been seriously hurt". And here he was just a few days later turning up at Roots Hall on a Monday night. Who'd want to be a referee? One bloke who did - the linesman - Ron Challis (Tonbridge), a future Cup Final referee. Well, you got to start somewhere!
This was Palace's third game in 6 days with another to come 2 days later. A lack-lustre 1-0 defeat maybe heralded that the season couldn't finish early enough. But see what happened on Weds 22nd. |

Had to feature this one today. Our first ever trip to the twin towers for the Mickey Mouse cup final. Not the result we wanted as we lost but! We were 3rd division champions already and this was the iceing on the cake. What a day.
