Talk:1978 Hamilton by-election

Why Wednesday?
"The by-election was the last in the UK to date not held on a Thursday. This was because the opening game of the 1978 FIFA World Cup was on Thursday 1 June." That might be a reason why you would not choose 1 June but why not another Thursday? Nedrutland (talk) 07:58, 30 April 2013 (UTC)
