The attendance was 7,000.

The Promotion Battle.
Brentford allowed promotion rivals Norwich City to leave Griffin Park with a point (the result was 2-2) but they are still the most strongly placed at the head of affairs. Exeter City won their match easily enough and are two points worse off than the Bees but have played one game more.
