World War II would wipe out league football until the 46/47
season.
In November 1940 a bomb left an 18ft wide crater in the
Milton penalty area and the flooding from a cracked culvert
left the pitch submerged for a month. Saints had a promising
team when the league restarted.
Under new boss Bill Dodgin, Saints pushed for promotion
with the likes of Day, Ellerington and Bates in the team.
Charlie Wayman would score 73 goals in 3 seasons. Saints
would stay in division 2 though, having thrown it away in
48/49 and being denied on the last day of the 49/50 season.
