One day this will be a quiz question, so remember it.

It was 32945, I still have a team selection card for the game versus Great Harwood on Sept. 2nd 1961

Looks like Ossy Kid is right. The 4 digit number was prefixed by a 3 sometime just before the exit from the league. I cannot ascertain a date. All Accy numbers acquired a 3, as this was the code from the Blackburn exchange, the main one for our area to Acc.

2945 might make a good PIN number for a 100% Red.

I remember the change - we changed completely (from 2511 to 31925 iirc) and stopped sharing a party line with our neighbours. Around 1960 I would guess ...

Nostalgia's not what it used to be!
