Hi
Are there any football fans out there who can help me with two questions please?
1. Nottingham Forest won the the FA Cup against Luton Town on 2nd May 1959, 2-1. The attendance was 100,000, how much were the total gate receipts?
2. Who was the centre forward for Notts County when they played agains Notts Forest on 15th September 1951?
many thanks Sue

Stands a chance Notts Countys Centre Forward would have been Tommy Lawton

There is a ticket stub for this game for sale on ebay.
It says it was 15/- or 75p to get in so times that by 100,000 gives you �75,000
Hope this helps!

�49883
Albion received �6,984 15s 10d
Preston got �4,524 14s 2d
