Football


This is the sign outside Ludlow Town's ground. Unfortunately I missed the previous sign which advertised "Ludlow Legends" v "Manchester United Legends". That must have been a clash of titans! The match has now taken place and I do not know who won but I suspect the Ludlow Legends gave them a good thrashing, destroying the confidence of Man Utd. and leading to their current poor performances.
This is the new ground, opened only last year. When the old ground was demolished the builders found a time capsule that had been included when the old ground was built in the early 1900s. The contents of the capsule were displayed at the local library and the only thing I can remember is a ticket for a game between Ludlow and Wolverhampton Wanderers in 1906. The ticket said "Amission 2 s 6d (working class 6d). I wonder how you proved you were working class, perhaps it was obvious in those days.
No idea who won and there may be a conspiracy. Perhaps the Wolves were thrashed and now they are powerful they have concealed all the evidence.
