South stand!

Also interesting to note that this photo / postcard is of a reserve fixture.
Fair turnout.

Why did almost all (wealthy looking) people wear hats back in the old days?

Wasn't just the wealthy. Virtually everyone did.

Why is that woman with the young lad wearing a large frying pan on her head

Looks like a Peaky Blinders convention

That young lad was probably still working when I saw my first game (1969) ... scary!

Images of Dick Van Dyke spring to mind.

Intriguing though.

So they could throw them in the air when we scored

That cheeky lady near the front of the photo has the nerve to start a different song to those on the far left. Naughty naughty.

I may be wrong, but I think the 11 denotes 'eleven' not the 2nd team or reserves.

If that makes sense

Bens Grandad will know. He was sitting next to her.

Everyone had really bad hair back in the day.

This was indeed a reserve fixture. Albion's first team lost 2-1 AT Watford (in Southern League Division One) that day.

This is five days after Albion became Champions of All England so perhaps it was an opportunity for the fans to show their appreciation of the club that had just won the Charity Shield (even if it wasn't the first team)?
