April 27:

A bit quieter today after recent days of Cup Finals and Premier League matches and promotions.

We had a very good win down at Bristol City on this date in 2013. It was a 3-1 win with James Vaughan scoring a hat trick.

Mind those corner flags!!!

That, with one game to play, a home match against Barnsley, will surely see us safe and only a fatal set of circumstances with many results going against us, would see us relegated now.

The old enemy were back in town on this date in 1932. No not Leeds. Herbert Chapman and his Arsenal boys. I said wrongly yesterday that they won the first of their hat trick of league titles in 1931. That was their first title, but the hat trick started in 1933. In this season, 1931/32, they finished as runners up to Everton and Town finished 4th behind Sheffield Wednesday in 3rd.

Anyway, the Gunners beat us again, 2-1 this time, with Bob Kelly scoring our goal. They had beaten us in the FA Cup as well, two months earlier. That game had seen the record attendance at Leeds Road of 67,037. This one, played on a Wednesday teatime, had a crowd of 13,370.
