1960maaan Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 @Curr Avon Cheers Mark , great photos. I keep looking for ones of the Home game, I was up against the fence near the Open end Goal. Keep thinking I might see me and my Dad, so far no luck . 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GrahamC Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Someone asked me on Saturday & I had no idea. What was the reason Keith Fear wasn’t there? Unwell? Not interested in being invited back? Know he’s still around & lives local, so was a bit of a surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atyeo's lift Posted February 19 Report Share Posted February 19 Thanks for these. Great memories and a day I'll never forget. Standing in amongst the Leeds supporters was more than a bit bit scary, but I got out alive 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blimey the bloke was fundamental to both games and he wasn’t there Saturday I could tell. I do sometimes wonder how they all get on these days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There were a couple of sons there in their Fathers place, I caught Cris Garlands son but can't remember the other one. Maybe someone stood in for Keith ?

You would have thought as he scored the equaliser and passed the ball for the winner he would have at least got a mention as to why he wasn't there.

Bristol Oil Services Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 47,000 people at a match on a midweek afternoon (when work was Mon to Fri 9 - 5 more than it is today), no wonder there was rubbish piling up on the streets, corpses left unburied, inflation of 14%, rampant unions and the worst productivity in western Europe. Everyone of you that went to that game instead of going to work are responsible for THATCHERISM. Great photos, Curr, by the way .... 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norn Iron Posted February 20 Report Share Posted February 20 Why were there 2 different shirts being worn that day? Maybe Alan Dicks in his pre- match team talk said to the players individually,"V or round neck sir?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was a time of industrial action by miners, which affected coal supplies to the power stations and, along with other contributing factors, put electricity in short supply. Government regulations, aimed at restricting its use, demanded that all but ‘essential’ industries switched to a three-day week, while homes were regularly hit by power cuts. Hence the 2pm kick-off time for a midweek football fixture, which normally would have been played under floodlights, and what was termed an ‘emergency issue’ of the match programme. It was priced at 7 pence and contained just 12 pages. 25 minutes ago, Norn Iron said: Why were there 2 different shirts being worn that day?

Different times back then, kits were often mismatched, old ones used, and often all slightly different. Even the England national kit of the 70s by admiral was all over the shop. There's a documentary by Admiral that's worth watching, discusses how ' back street' kit manufacturing was back then. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The kit for Spain 82 was problematic. A seamstress flew out with her sewing machine to finish off the kits, the night before the game. That's why in the line-up, players badges were in different places! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The second one is Ashton Gate. My hunch is the 1st photo is the Open End, there is a lot of daylight compared to a terrace with a roof on it, it just looks right with how the shadows are and you can just see the tops of the railings behind the goal. If correct then I should be top left somewhere as I was behind the flight of the ball when Bremner scored. I was only 12 so possibly behind someone but my Dad was 6ft+ and I can't see him either. Maybe we are just out of shot . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A three day week too much like hard work for them? Work-shy country. If we hadn't been so bloody good at exploiting other peoples and their resources before all this 'ealth n safety and human rights came in, we'd be ...... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who is the bloke on Shankly's left? Looks familiar but he is too old to be a player and not the Paisley/Fagan follow ups. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
