The Half Decent Football Magazine

48 S.








Viel Britisches war diesmal im Heft interessant zu lesen. Barnsley, Burnley, Albion Rovers, Dumbarton, Brechin, Bideford, Tiverton. Über Bideford aus der englischen Southern League lernt man etwa “Bideford attract small crowds, usually around 200-250, but are blessed with remarkably loyal support. Despite the increased regionalisation of the Southern League, Bideford remains a long drive from rival league clubs such as Fleet in Hampshire and Thatcham in Berkshire. But there will always be a presence at away games, with colour and noise. Bideford, and Barnstaple for that matter, will cover 5,000 miles this season in a league with an overall average crowd of around 175.”

Es gibt auch einen lehrreichen Arikel über den englischen Fußball im sogenannten Winter of Discontent 1978/79, als neben Schnee und Kälte viele Streiks für bessere Arbeitsbedingungen die Insel erschütterten.
