Brighton v Palace - postponed due to the weather

Well, about 40-50 years ago it was...

Play the video here : BBC Sport - Snow causes postponements in football, rugby league and racing and pause at 11 seconds. BHA and CP are Division two, Chelsea, Leeds, Newcastle are all Div 3!

Anyone know when this is from?

Winter of 62/63 I believe, I was born in September 63 and have a fair idea how my parents kept warm that winter.

It had Div 3 at the top, not two.

I thought a pedant would have noticed.

The Brighton - Palace match was played on 12th Jan 1963, one of a very few matches taking place in the UK.
The Albion hired a tar-melter to thaw out the pitch, and managed to play 3 successive home matches between 12th Jan and 2nd Feb, when most other games were off. Unfortunately the scheme didn't pan out as they hoped with only one point gained from those three matches, and the pitch suffered some damage.
