'For the really big games, they squeezed you in until it was impossible to move. Health and Safety - pah!'

I remember being so packed into the 'Chicken Run' that my feet didn't touch the ground at times. You could surge foreward despite the barriers-fun at the time-now Im older-frightening!

You Won't See These Again

The man with the winning raffle ticket numbers on a big wooden board doing a slow tour of the pitch. "Get that board out the way!!!!".

Cadburys Bar 6. The Goldstone was the only place I ever saw them after about 1980. Mind you, they tasted like they'd been hanging around that long!

Before my time but A B C D etc. boards for half time results.

I worked at the goldstone in the seventies. first selling programmes then on the turnstiles and putting out the half time scores.
I got to kick the ball went it went out of play a few times to cries of "sign him up".

Dunno if they still sell those blue sponge hands with the pointing finger pointing upwards...

What like the millions that were issued to the games makers

Collars, ties, flat caps, woodbines, rickets, whooping cough.... the list is endless.
