20th April, 1946
Charlton Athletic 2 Derby County 1 (Stamps)
att: 50,000
7 days before the two clubs would meet in the FA Cup Final.
20th April, 1970
Aldershot 4 Bradford (Park Avenue) 2
att: 4,861
The end of the road as a League club for Bradford. Given this was the fourth successive season they'd had to apply for re-election, no one seemed particularly surprised when Cambridge replaced them.
As the BPA official history recalls, though, the Aldershot defeat was the club's 56th successive away game without a win - ironically, the last one was at local rivals Bradford City in Feb 1968 - and crafty Cambridge employed "mini-skirted girls wearing mortar boards" outside the Football League HQ to sway the delegates as they arrived to decide on Avenue's fate.
And, after 4 years of dwindling gates and ever-increasing financial problems, the club called it a day in 1974.

Wednesday 21st April 1948
Division III South
Reading 0 Crystal Palace 0
Gate: 8,582
And so the season neared its end with the two mid-table sides locked together and with the prospect of the reverse fixture to be played just 3 days later - this game having been postponed from its original December date, as the Club Chatter reveals. Palace won that game and ended up in 13th spot, 3 places and 2 points behind the Biscuits. |

21st April, 1930
Derby County 4 (Barclay 3, Robson) Sheffield Weds 1 (Hooper)

21st April 1934
FA Amateur Cup Final
Dulwich Hamlet 2 Leyton 1

Saturday 22 April 1939
Division 3 South
QPR 1 (Joe Mallett) - Watford 0
Gate: 7364
As the final season prior to the War was coming to an end, two clubs with no real aspirations of promotion met at Loftus Rd. Ex-Charlton Athletic forward Joe Mallett was the sole scorer. He went on to a long history with QPR, playing 297 games and netting 60 times.

Scottish League
First Division
22nd April 1967
Dunfermline Athletic v Stirling Albion
Not going to lie, this isn't my favourite lay out of a Dunfermline programme but it happened on this day so it will do.
Not a bad game mind, given it ended 3-3 |

22nd April, 1935
Derby County 4 (Ramage, Duncan, Gallagher, Hughes) Everton 1
att: 17,718
The win allowed Derby (6th) to move ahead of Everton (5th) in the table.
One of only two appearances Alan Hughes made for Derby (he was Sammy Crooks' understudy) but Everton must have been impressed that day as, a few weeks later, they signed the winger permanently.

Wednesday 23rd April 1952
Grand Football Match
Denis Compton's XI v Alex James's XI
A friendly at Selhurst Park, with proceeds for the Sir Philip Game Boys' Club, between two teams of mainly star footballers including Denis Compton, in goal, and Hughie Gallacher then aged 52. Palace provided several of the players to make up the numbers. If anyone has any match details, I'd be very grateful. |

Scottish League
23rd April 1966
Heart of Midlothian v Stirling Albion
The photo simply doesn't do justice to the front cover of this programme. The Scott Monument with "Auld Reekie" in the background. Brilliant.
1-1 draw in the capital for Stirling . |

I found this on the British Newspaper archive if it helps....although having just saved it to here i can't read it as it's too small! I've saved the page on my computer, so if you want me to send it to you let me know.

23rd April, 1955
Lincoln City 3 Derby County 0
att: 18,700
Long since relegated, this was a seventh successive defeat for a rather bedraggled Derby team who had only won once since the first week of December.
23rd April, 1955
York City 1 Derby County 0
att: 14,976
A "must-win" for Derby with games running out but this defeat allowed Grimsby to beat Southport 48 hours later and take the title and one available promotion place. The Rams would have to wait another 12 months to escape the Third Division.
I wonder if they're going to start next season there?
