Strange as it sounds it was used as an underlay in my bedroom. We're talking back in the days when the Daily Mirror was on 15p.

There were 2 articles the first was about Chesterfield being top of Division 4 and being on the best run in the last 2 decades the second article was about Chesterfield winning against Exeter City 5-1.

Can anyone remember this??

October 25th 1986 we played newport c here at the rec and won 3 - 2,Reid,Baines and Caldwell in front of a massive 1895 crowd.

That game versus Exeter was in 1984/5 on 20th October,with Brown,Kendall,Moss,Spooner and Hunt scoring,gate was 3457 and we was champions of div 4 that season...

one layer with the odd bits overlapping. we are talking when i was a nipper.

Duralay is far effective but it all depends on what you can afford at the time.
