First move in the Cup Final Ticket Clean-Up comes from the National Federation of Supporters' Clubs who demand that clubs should be ordered to print in their programme a balance sheet showing the dis- tribution of their Wembley tickets.

Until this game the Communist half of Germany had run its own teams of boxers, swimmers and athletes, often as offshoots of political organisations. And whenever challenges from Western Germany were accepted, the meets were turned into political propaganda.
