Summary:l |
A strange derby for the fact that a league match between
the sides was not held on Boxing Day in this season, thus this October
league match. With Christmas Day falling on a Sunday (playing fixtures on
Sunday was banned until 1967), the then
traditional Christmas Day clash with Salford was scheduled for December
26th, but unlike in times previous when this had happened, the derby wasn't
put back to December 27th. Not quite sure why, but this season proved to
be the only time a Boxing Day derby was not scheduled between 1908 and the
last one in 1995, excluding war years and 1980 when Wigan played in the
Second Division. Ironically the next five Boxing Day fixtures in the
following seasons all fell foul to a Frozen Pitch, so there wouldn't be another Christmas Derby until
1966! |
