the so called "boxing day massacre"
A record crowd for the 3rd Division (tier 3) assembled for the 11:00 am kick off despite there being no bus service on Boxing Day. United went into the match as clear favourites for promotion, Wednesday being 6 points adrift in 6th place with only 2 wins in the previous 7 matches. The result changed the course of the season for both teams with Wednesday going on a 16 match unbeaten run that saw them earn promotion to the 2nd Division while United were knocked out of their stride and finished the season in 12th place.
