Slightly [OT] but if anyone saw this wonderful documentary of clear film
footage from the turn of the century did they notice the 10 foot high piles
of snow around the edge of the football field. Didn't quite catch if it was
the earliest footage of Man U v Burnley at TurfMoor or from Preston at
Deepdale. I know it was around 1902. Great programme especially for you
Lancastrians.

The series has been absolutely eye-opening, for a whole multitude of
reasons. Football matches cancelled because of snow and ice... now,
there's a thing. Fatty Foulkes. Clogs. Shawls. Top Hats. Rickets.
Walking.

Cheers,
