Just noticed that our game away to Newcastle is on the 29th of February. When was the last time we played on this date?

That's a toughie. Every 4 years for that date and it would likely to have had to fall on a Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday. So a date that only happens every 4 years with only really 4 days of the week that it could happen on. Could even be 'has it ever happened'? One for the statos.

No keep the thread going. The brexit one lasted well over 400 pages and was no more interesting.

I must admit stuff like this fascinates me but I haven't got the time of inclination to check it out. I'm guessing that would be it if we did play on that day. Although has it landed on a Sunday, Tuesday or Wednesday since then? For once Google has been no help at all. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Just checked league games and a win (1-0) over Grimsby away in 1908 and a defeat away at Arsenal (4-0) in 1904 where I believe we felt the grass was too long and too dry.

Here's an explanation. Good luck with it. :)

February 29th falls on a Saturday Once every 28 Years except when a Year evenly divisible by 100 is not a leap year like 2100. A default leap year is always a leap year starting on a Wednesday. Default leap years from 21st to 24th century are 2020, 2048, 2076, 2116, 2144, 2172, 2212, 2240, 2268, 2296, 2308, 2336, 2364 and 2392. Leap years starting on a Wednesday are always the best years and the most Superior years ever. Around 39% of milestone numbers are leap years starting on a Wednesday. The only Years evenly divisible by 100 in the A.D years that were leap years starting on Wednesday we’re 100 A.D, 800 A.D and 1500 A.D. The year 1500 was a leap year starting on Wednesday, not a normal year starting on Monday.

Did we have leap years before the Gregorian calendar?
