"Also interested in that only club members could be admitted to the wrestling.
Was that something to do with how the hall was hired?"
In the 1970s this might well have had something to do with Sunday observance laws.
Very enjoyable, thank you.
Johnny Saint "the greatest lightweight of all time"! On a bill with Jim Breaks....
I can't imagine the Gwyn Davies v Big Daddie bout, especially with Davies champion at that time.
Thanks for all these MM!
Seems like these shows were organised through the Best/Wryton group of the time. Same photos, typefaces, printers etc on these handbills as was at Belle Vue in that timeframe.
Also interested in that only club members could be admitted to the wrestling.
