ARSENAL
AND THE ENGLAND TEAM
Following the announcement
yesterday of the England team to meet Scotland, Arsenal sent the following
telegram to the headquarters of the Football League:-
"In view of the fact that three
of our players have been selected by the Football Association to represent
England on Saturday, and in the interests of ourselves and other League
clubs which might possibly be affected in one way or another, would the
League Management Committee be prepared to consider the question of
postponing Arsenal's League match with Liverpool next week?"
Mr Jack Rouse, assistant
secretary of the Liverpool FC, when told of Arsenal's application
said:-"No communication has been received by the Liverpool club concerning
a postponement, and never in the history of English football has it been
necessary to postpone a League match for the reason stated. Permission has
never been given for such a course." -
Scotsman, 10 April 1934
ARSENAL'S REQUEST REFUSED
The English Football League Management Committee yesterday said "No"
to Arsenal's request to postpone their League match with Liverpool
next Saturday, Moss, Hapgood and Bastin having been picked to play for
England against Scotland at Wembley.
In announcing
this fact, Mr Fred Howarth, secretary of the League, stated that the
decision was unanimous, and based on precedent, as there had been a
similar application from Huddersfield Town in March 1928, and this was
refused.
At that time Huddersfield possessed excellent
chances of winning the League Championship. They had Goodall, Wilson,
Kelly and Smith (H) chosen for England, and Jackson for Scotland;
Stephenson and Redfern were injured and Wadsworth was ill.
Nevertheless, Huddersfield went to Bury with nine reserves, and won by
3 goals to 2. They finished the season second, and Bury were fifth
from top." -
Scotsman, 11 April 1934
As it was, whilst England
were defeating their Scotch counterparts, Arsenal had travelled to
Anfield and beat Liverpool three goals to two. The win kept them four
points ahead of rivals Huddersfield Town, who also won, 4-1 over
Newcastle United FC. Arsenal also have a game in hand, having played
38 matches, in comparison to Huddersfield's 39.
