Accrington Stanley resigned from Division 4 of the Football League on Monday 6th March 1962 (see Q# 21933). Their last match, played on Saturday 3rd March 1962, was their 33rd game for the 1961-62 season, and their W-D-L 5-8-20 (goals 19-60) record was expunged. I've hit a brick wall trying to locate their next game, the 34th game of the 46 game season. What was their next game (aka which club got the bye)?

Are you sure you have the dates right as the official site indicates that the last season was 60/61? http://www.accystan.co.uk/footydb/loadlghs.asp Aug 30 02, 12:56 PM

yea, it's right .. most sources don't show 61/62 because:- Accrington Stanley resigned from the league after 33 games. Their results were expunged. http://www.risc.uni-linz.ac.at/non-official/rsssf/engpaul/FLA/1961-62.html Aug 30 02, 3:10 PM

Rothmans Book of Football League Records gives Stanley's last Division 4 match as a 4-0 defeat at Crewe on Friday 2nd March 1962 - the day of the week being correct. 6th March will therefore have been a Tuesday. Aug 30 02, 9:16 PM

Blondie, many thanks for that. I've found a site last night with the 1961/62 results for Exeter City: http://www.blackpool-mad.co.uk/footydb/loadtmrs.asp?ssnno=74&teamno=221 Aug 31 02, 2:24 AM
