Saturday 9 February 1963
Soccer’s snowed-up 1962/63 season might run into June. So far, over 300 games have been postponed. Cricket is sure to protest, but it looks as if there will now be a major battle between the sports. Also, some football and cricket clubs share the same ground, so that issue also needs to be addressed.
The Scottish Football League is considering switching its season to run from March to November. The English Football League has already rejected a similar plan.
Due to snow, ice and floods only eleven football matches will be played this weekend. The Pools Panel will sit for the third week running, chaired by Group-Captain Douglas Bader.
@HannahHowe Douglas Bader chaired the Pools panel? Got to be honest that is a surprise it doesn't seem a natural fit.
Still I guess he was the right sort or chap and a war hero* so there is that.
*While undoubtedly brave some views his actions as what he wanted rather than say operational efficiently.
@DazzlingDamo I guess he was viewed as a “decent chap”, above reproach, so people couldn’t complain when their pools coupon went in the bin, again, that weekend.
