The
Wolves-United match was the first to be played in the evening under
floodlights, kicking off at 7.00pm - the attendance was ten thousand lower than expected - and was
considered a failure. |
|
|
One
point separated the top seven clubs. Arsenal were particularly
impressive, hitting 25 goals in their first six home games, and it was
to be their best league season of the 18 between their title successes
of 1953 and 1971, but third place was where they finished.

The southern clubs were even
more dominant in the new fourth division, with only two clubs from the
northern section appearing in the top half, and that was also the way
that it finished. One of them, however, was York City, who were top
and would go on to win their first-ever promotion.
