I'm hoping that there will be double the 3,000 you suggest. I think there will be a lot of local interest. The game has been well plugged on Radio Derby and I think there will be a fair few neutrals there looking to see a giant killing. I may be wrong but hopeful for a decent crowd. I remember when I used to watch Arnold playing in the old Midlands League that Belper were always one of their opponents. Used to be some good games in that league. Eastwood, Frickley, Alfreton. George Smith in the Arnold goal, Pete Shepherd on the wing and Roger Rann up front playing at King George's playing field.
Ex-Notts Bobby Tait played for Arnold in the Midland League. Understand he's in the Notts ex-players association. Saw him at Meadow Lane last year. Great little inside-forward in his day.
Other names, maybe slightly before yours, I remember are Joe Boucher, Pete Burton and Arthur Oldham. They were fun days on George's Rec.
As we're not on tv (bbc have chosen barnet v potters barn) this should help the attendance some what.
How many tiers in the pyramid are Belper below Notts, and have we ever played anyone in a competitive match from that low in the pyramid?
I'm struggling to find this information and any help would be appreciated as my kids are asking.
John Anthony as well. Peter Burton was always 'Shonky'. Bobby Tait ran Arnold Sports for many years.
Joe Boucher was my first footballing hero. I went on a team coach to Frickley and was in total awe when we picked him up.
Spent many happy hours at Gedling Road - real shame when they moved the club out.
