The Derby was always run on a Wednesday up until just a few years ago.

The Epsom Derby was last run on a Wednesday in 1994 almost 30 years ago.

I've owned a couple of racehorses back in the day, and the Derby was the highlight of the racing calendar.kentonclaret wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 8:02 pmThe Epsom Derby was last run on a Wednesday in 1994 almost 30 years ago.

I really didn't realise that it changed days so many years ago.

Re: June FA Cup Finals
Because premier league players don’t like playing football. The championship was also pushed back because of the World Cup. We played 8 more games, but still finished at the usual time.ClaretTony wrote: ↑Fri Jun 02, 2023 7:44 pmI can’t remember one this late but it’s pushed back because of the World Cup

Re: June FA Cup Finals
Latest in my lifetime, I think, was the 1963 final between Leicester and Man Utd. on the 25th May due mainly to the 'big freeze' of 1963.
