Attention Boro historians.
I've been sorting stuff and came across my programme (sheet) for the Boro v Hearts friendly in 1968. It says kick-off was 3 o'clock on Friday 2 August which seems odd. Glasper says that the game was played on 3 August while the programme book lists it as 2 August but neither gives the kick-off time. So, was it played on the Friday or Saturday? And if it was played on the Friday what was the kick-off time? And if it was played at 3 on the Friday, why? For my part I can remember being there and sort of vaguely recall an evening game but I'm really nowhere near certain. And there's at least one misprint elsewhere on the sheet so it might just be that. Any firm info?
