So here we have clue number two, the answer to which was the town of Sheffield, for the other defeated semi finalist in the 1923 Run Up to the Cup Final
This match was played the same day as the other semi-final, 24 March 1923, but it was played at Old Trafford, the Manchester United Ground. However it was not such an exciting match, Bolton Wanderers winning by a single goal.
This card is just one of the variations of this fascinating set, which are dealt with more fully in our blog "B for Borough Arms". That tells the differences in all the sets, and one day will include a sample back and front of every one.
This particular card we feature today is from Group 3 - Numbered set of 50, 1-50, these being removed from the fronts and placed on the backs. Oddly, the numbering system is entirely different on every card. Fronts printed in full colour, no frame lines, with "Wills`s Cigarettes" across fronts of cards. Now although the pictures on the cards of this group are identical to those of group 1,the back is entirely different, for the design has gone and a descriptive text about the picture has replaced it on the back. And those backs are printed slightly darker, in blackish grey.
