another fan Posted December 27, 2014 Share Posted December 27, 2014 (edited) My failing memory tells me that when I started supporting the Latics night matches were played on Wednesday evening with 7-30 pm kick off. Can someone please correct me if I am right or wrong? Many thanks I should have mentioned that my first game was the friendly against OFCK Belgrade (?) in 1963 I think Edited December 27, 2014 by another fan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted December 28, 2014 Share Posted December 28, 2014 I remember the Latics losing at home in the 1960s to Chesterfield in the FA cup on a Tuesday afternoon..I couldn't get time off work so missed it. I think it was a decent crowd. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
