I remember in 1961 at school, the caretaker would write the 3rd round FA Cup draw (Midland Clubs) on a blackboard in the playground. Great excitement from the majority of the lads (800 of us) to see who we had drawn. Excitement heightened, if your club had won, as the further rounds were similarly announced in the future.
Interesting that the draw must have taken place, daytime, during a weekday !
Somehow not the same now !! Must be my age
