The Chairman reported his attendance at the office of
the Football Association and that the proposal to play a
series of Inter County matches was favourably considered
but it was thought that owing to the present feeling
generally with regard to football the time was not
opportune for carrying such proposal into effect. The
Football Association desired us to embody in writing full
details of the proposed scheme and submit same to them.
The Secretary was instructed to give effect to this suggestion.
John Page The Secretary read a letter from Gainsborough Trinity
hereon offering to transfer this player on payment
of the wages already paid to him but such offer was
