Summary
MOVIETONE CARD TITLE: For and Against. DESCRIPTION: Up and down the country, on a Saturday afternoon, the football fans flock in. Unthinkable that, come Saturday, no-one would be there: no players, no spectators, no noise! While we all hoped there’d be no strike, we had a word with PFA Chairman, Mr Jimmy Hill. Then, we heard Mr Pratt, Chairman of West Ham. But whatever the rights or wrongs, damage to the sport, or the business, was never the goal of either side. SHOTLIST: Key scene.
