    I think its Valencia from http://parsdatabase.co.uk/
    then go onto 1962/1963 - Inter-City Fairs Cup. It's the only Spanish team I can find but I'm not 100% certain, if anyone can find anything definite be my guest

    I've had a look through that database and I make it Real Zaragoza in the quarter finals of the 1965/66 Inter City Fairs Cup
    First Leg: (H) East End Park, 3rd March 1966
    Second Leg: (A) Romareda Stadium, 30th March 1966

    Can someone double check to confirm this for us please?
    Sorry am all a bit sixes and sevens today!:eek:

    No I have not put the label at a 90 degree angle - that makes good sense, will try that. I bet that's something every newbie learns eventually. :D Not a newbie comper generally but am with the postals.

    Thanks!

    I don't think it's too obvious really- you'd expect Royal Mail to have a bit more common sense. I learnt the hard way when I was a kid entering (and winning!) every competition that the local paper ran. We had a great postie though and he used to just take them back to the sorting office. Needless to say, I soon learnt the 90 degree trick!

    I recently learned that too, as I had a postcard returned! I don't know how they get sent back, as surely they should read the address on the side with the stamp :mad: ...... but the 90 degree trick is working so far - just need some postal wins now :rotfl:

    You could try puttin sellotape over your address, apparently the sorting machine cant read it so it gets sorted manually x

    I have been putting the address label at 90 degree angle and above my address put sender and underneath my address my email address or phone number.

    I havent had any returned in months (I will probably jinx myself now!)

    For what it's worth, I put my labels on diagonally. Always write From: above the name & 2 lines under the postcode. I write TO in big letters for the addy to where it's going.

    Since I've done that I've had none back. I'll take a pic & show you when I do postals tomorrow to see if that helps x
