ARTICLE: The town celebrates promotion

Post by ClaretTony » Sun Apr 18, 2021 10:27 am

Two days after the win against Sunderland in 1973 the town was still celebrating. We had even received a letter of congratulations from Billy Bancroft who was, I believe, the first to have sweeping duties on the Longside according to a well known song.
