    I was in Perth earlier today and noticed this cup in a charity shop.
    The pictures commemorate a Plymouth Argyle division 3 game on Saturday 28th November 1970.
    The other image is of a program which cost 4d.
    K.O. Was at 3.15. Any idea why? And was the game of any real relevance?

    Maybe Biglil can give more details of the game like team line ups, score, name of the ref, lines mens performance and what time the kiosk ran out of pies.

    3.15pm kickoffs were a regular thing back in the day to give miners the chance to get to the game after the day shift.

    Was the kick off due to the pits?

    Allowing guys on the day shift time to get home for the kick off. I could be wrong.

    Didn't realise Toby had been around since 1970 - I knew he was an old dog but not that old! Anyone know his year of birth? @JLWBigLil ?

    The original Toby Tyke was a real bull dog called Toby Jug and I remember seeing him paraded in front of us at Saltergate before a cup tie versus Chesterfield around 1969. Those were the days when cup matches attracted big crowds and this one was no exception.

    On that topic, I have a bunch of old 4d coins. Much older than this, mostly 19th century and silver like the old threepences before the brass versions. Does anyone know if the term 'groat' refers specifically to 4d, or if it refers to silver coins of this style of any denomination?

    Edit: Googled it for curiosity, and a groat is indeed 4d

    I used to sell those programmes outside the ground in the 60s, the club supplied us with a white jacket and red cap iirc, and I think they were 3d in my day.
    They were also smaller than today's, pocket sized.

    No. The picture is much earlier than 1970 - possibly the cup run of 1961?

    For a period in the 60s, programmes were tiny squares.

    Couldn't name the team that day but it was the era of Pat Howard and Eric Winstanley who would almost certainly have played. Another from that era was Les Lea who I played alongside when he was in his 40s
