Being a bit of an anorak on the train this morning, I noticed that I don't think we've ever lost a game played on February 29th. Admittedly we've only played four!
February 29th, 1908 - Tranmere 2-2 Chester
February 29th, 1936 - Chester 3-2 Carlisle
February 29th, 1964 - Chester 5-0 Southport
February 29th, 1992 - Darlington 1-1 Chester
I'm sure the first two are out of the question, but did anyone go to the other two?

I was at one of these as a 14 year old?

I was at the Southport game GT did get a hat-trick the other 2 were scored by Metcalf and Bennion (I did consult the oracle to get the scorers the memory isn't that good these days)

Good research that!
I'd have been at the third one with Slipper Read most likely providing the bullets, and I'm sorry this years was called off because they happen so rarely.
