Football League Election Brochure 1964
Before promotion and relegation there was a vote by the Football League on teams that could be “elected”.
This is a 16 page brochure on the merits of why Chelmsford City FC should be granted Football League status.
A very interesting read – back then we averaged 5,100 per game.
