Scottish Fitba on a Sunday.

[Archiebaird]

Does anyone know the details of the first Sunday game in Scottish fitba?

Or even roughly when it was?

Doing an essay and cant be fecked doing the research.

Might be something happytim would know.

Probably in the 60s or 70s, I'd imagine.

I read a couple of weeks ago about Sunday fitba in Northern Ireland - apparently it's still very rare over there. Was a bit surprised to read that.

I know there was a cup game between Hearts and Aberdeen which was gonna be played on a Sunday in the 60s but wasn't due to pressure from the church.

Aye I'm thinking seventies.

What's the title of your essay, Erchie min?

Maybe even the 80s - definite recall a live Sunday TV game between Hearts and Aberdeen at Tynecastle, 1-1 draw, a few weeks before Albert Kidd Day.

Think it may have been the first live league match on a Sunday.

Account for shifts in popular leisure pursuits in Scotland between 1914 and 1970.

Basically it's all gonna be about fitba.

Millwall vs Fulham in 1974 was the first English game on a Sunday.

Aye, Erchie min, keep it to something you know.

I always knew you were academically minded.

Cheers. If I can establish that it was after 1970 then it will help my argument. If not I'll need to start again.
