Quite a difference in points needed to win the title with only 53 back then. I'm Sure Sluffy remembers those days very well   |

"The Wednesday" - great name for a club! Certainly better than "Woolwich Arsenal"!

The reason the points tally was so low is because back then you got 2 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.
Some of the History of the Laws of the Game:
1891: Introduction of the penalty-kick.
1958: Substitutes are permitted for the first time, albeit only for an injured goalkeeper and one other injured player.
1970: The system of red and yellow cards is introduced for the 1970 FIFA World Cup ™ finals.
Added time was introduced because of an incident which happened in 1891 during a match between Stoke and Aston Villa. Trailing 1–0 and with just two minutes remaining, Stoke were awarded a penalty. Villa's goalkeeper kicked the ball out of the ground, and by the time the ball had been recovered, the 90 minutes had elapsed and the game was over.
Substitutions:
"...Relatively unheard of until the second half of the twentieth century. On 11th October 1953,...Germany and Saarland, a German player named Horst Eckel became the first substitute under new rules from FIFA which allowed substitutions (previously, injured players would simply leave the field of play and their team would play the rest of the match with fewer players than the opposition, or the player would have to continue to play regardless of the injury, or if it was a goalkeeper who had sustained an arm injury, he would have to play outfield for the rest of the match).
The Football League...first permitted substitutions in the 1965/1966 season, although the ruling authorised just one substitution per team, and a substitution could only be used to replace an injured player - not for solely tactical reasons. Starting from the 1967/1968, the regulations were relaxed so that solely tactical substitutions become allowable.
On August 21, 1965, Keith Peacock of Charlton Athletic became the first substitute used in a League match when he replaced the injured goalkeeper Mike Ross eleven minutes into a league match away to Bolton Wanderers F.C..
In later years, the number of substitutes permitted in Football League matches has gradually increased. In the UK, the Premier League increased the number 1996."

Define "old sods"! I'm 55 and I do remember when it was still 2 points for a win. I also remember when there was only one substitution. If you look at old pictures, the goalies didn't wear gloves but caught that big, heavy (even heavier when wet) leather ball with their bare hands. |

With Blackpool in the play-off final, we'll be hearing a lot about the so-called 'Matthews Final' again ..... a game where we needed at least one sub, if not more. (Watched it on TV - sort of). If I remember rightly, I was on Burnden for the game against Charlton and the first League sub ever. If anyone's talking 'owd sods', I reckon I qualify in spades. |

I prefer the "old sods" who remember much more than I can. I hate it when I talk about Burnden Park and younger fans look at me with a blank look because they never saw the days before Jay-Jay Okocha and Youri Djorkaeff. I'm only 23 but it makes me feel old myself! Somebody please remind me what the Wembley trips in '86 and '89 were like again!

Was talking to some 'yoof' at Brum away a few years back, I started going on about the atmosphere in Burnden Park and they were looking at me like I was a senile old man!
Wembley 1991 was where it was at, wish I'd have been younger as the older lads looked to be having fun chasing Tranmere fans all over Wembley Way.

Damn your eyes Wendy. That was the bit of trivia Sluffy told me about and I haven't got around to posting it. |
