The headline states ‘Liverpool draw Newtown in the F A Cup’ yet the printed draw in the Liverpool Mercury shows that the club drew Bootle away. Newtown were the eventual opponents but what changed? Did the Mercury make an error?
Hi Alex,
Thanks for pointing this out. I was not aware of that. It looks like a misprint and mix-up between Liverpool Caledonians and Liverpool.
