Shut the whingers up to the great delight of my cousin.
That's a good story.

Does anybody recall being at Saturday 27th October 1962 v Wrexham, won 3-2? This was the weekend when the Cuban Missile crisis reached boiling point with the threat of imminent nuclear war, I wonder if there was a bit of a weird atmosphere in the ground that afternoon or much chatter about it? It doesn't appear to have had any impact on the gate with people staying at home to white wash their windows and take the inside doors out of their frames to lean against the hallway walls with a matrass to create a makeshift bunker. I can imagine most people just got on with things as normal, not really appreciating the gravity of the situation pre-Threads, QED and Panorama specials frightening the living daylights out of everybody 20 years later.
