Had a little trip up to Mansfield on Monday and on route from Nottingham spotted a road sign to Arnold. Thought to myself we played them in the FA Cup many moons ago. Just looked it up and it was actually in the first round in December 1967. Didn't splash out myself, was only 14 and didn't enjoy coach travel in those days, but was wondering if anybody on here went?

Didn't Devon White play for them before he joined Rovers?

Blimey - Arnold, we use to live not far from there in Long Eaton, I would had been to young for away games back then, attending my first game back in 1966 [Eastville Tote End].

And Alfreton just up the road

We spent almost 9 years in exile working in Nott's/Derbyshire, catching the Gas at both Nott's Forest and County

Thankfully found the M42 and escaped back Ome!!

TG Gayner - Bright Lights Dark Days [br] [br]“When spring came, even the false spring, there were no problems except where to be happiest. The only thing that could spoil a day was people and if you could keep from making engagements, each day had no limits. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself.” [br]― Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast

Not quite, he had a year with Arnold Kingswell who funnily enough amalgamated with Arnold to form the current Arnold Town FC.
