They're clearly NOT impressed by playing out from the back !

 

[arewethereyet?]

is that Adolf left of centre!

I do like a hat.

Cheeky Blighters and no mistake

Fairly impressive female representation too.

John Cleese standing behind Adolf?

Young Peter O’Sullivan on the extreme left centre

Had the FA destroyed women's football by this date? I know it was in 1921 they got banned from FA football pitches due to the crime of being more popular than men at the time.

That Bristol Rovers fan in the home end was taking the piss a bit shirley?

Hang on, have they got gottles of geer?



Oh, no, it’s ok. Someone’s removed the bottle caps.

 

[Seagull58]

I don't see any players but plenty of woodbines.

I seem to recall that this has been posted before, and it was explained that the guy holding the Bristol Rovers sign was holding it to show which game the photo was being taken at.

Aside from that though, would there have been a separate area for away fans at that point? I was under the impression that was brought in later.

I'm sure there are relatives of an NSCer on here, in that photo

In 1921, I would think that the average away support would have been near to 0.

They say fashion is cyclical. I suspect it may be a while before that tash trends again.

No idea how many Bristol Rovers fans might have attended that game in particular (and I'm sure it would have been a very small number), but people definitely went to away games at that point, even if not in large numbers.

A quick google suggests that separate away ends became regular in the late 1960s.

I'm not in that photo, but there are two lads at the front wearing my old grammar school cap !

If that is 1921 v Bristol Rovers, Brighton won 3-1 with goals from Ted Rodgerson (2) and Fred Groves.
