We played West Ham away on opening day of 1966/67. 20th Aug

So I reckon this game is Sat 27th Aug at The Bridge v Sheff Wed, Hence change strip due to Wed colours.

 A 0-0 draw with Sheff Wed back in Sept 1930. In front of 51,960.  Great crowd, as it was a Monday 6pm kick off time.

However I just like the programme cover.
