Skates and Scummers - workers in Portsmouth Dockyard went on strike during WW2

, hence "Skates", those in Southampton didn't

, so reduced effectiveness of strike, hence "Scummers" - that's the most common explanation down here, no idea whether it's true or not

.

Prediction - 2-1 Stanley, no idea whether that's sensible or not
