More from Karl Alexander's collection

We continue our look at the 1954-55 season courtesy of Karl Alexander

 

We recorded our best win of the season so far at home to Chester on 18th September, beating them 4-1

 

We stayed in midtable after that, and we had a good 1-0 away win at York City on 16th October 1954.

Our next away game was at Oldham on 30th October 1954, but we lost 3-1

 

We bounced back from the Oldham defeat by thumping Bradford City 4-0 at Feethams

 

The week after though, we lost 4-1 at Barnsley

 

After two FA cup ties against Barrow, we went to Wrexham on 27th November and drew 2-2

 

Workington beat us for the second time in the season by thumping us 6-1 at Borough Park.

 

 

We played on Christmas Day in the 50s, and in 1954 we played Hartlepool at the Victoria Ground, in front of 12430 but we lost 1-0

 

 

 

Two days later  Hartlepool beat us by the same scoreline at Feethams, with 17,576 somehow squeezed into the ground.
