They were in the old Div 3 North in those days so our paths didnt cross normally. However we drew 0.0 there in the Cup on Sat 24 Jan 1959 in front of 12590 fans. The replay on the Wednesday attracted 22407 fans to Fratton and Pompey won 4.1 For the Saga Louts Ron Saunders 2, Ron Newman and Derek Weddle scored. 4 days later Pompey lost at home to Blackpool in the league 1.2, 23138 being the crowd. Bet the Adder was there ? Can anyone remember what happened earlier that season when Pompey played Wolves at home on Boxing Day before playing at Molineux the next day ? Ill give you a clue, we conceded a few :blue:
