If you look closely, there's a young [MENTION=33581]Tom Hark, Preston Park[/MENTION] in that picture (half in frame, bottom right) frittering away ha' a bawbie from his Saturday job at Jones the Butchers to watch Albion vs. Bristol Rovers.

I've counted 6 but they're keeping their heads down and not offering any opinions on Maupay's inability to hit the target.

Well I was left agog and what’s more aghast - when the little chappie on the turnstile insisted I remove the silver adornment from the top of my cane, when he further insisted I remove my top hat, as it might have obscured another’s view, well, well... i somewhat lost my rag, as it were, and gave him a jolly good beating... as we exchanged (well postured) blows he accused me of being a throwback and suggested I’d misread the fashion of the day... by God he made my blood boil, the sheer impudent insolence.

And as a final insult to my gentlemanly status, as he lay at my boots, he claimed my moustache was too big and would further impede the enjoyment of others... that’s when I shot him.

In my day we would have strung him up for the sport of the crows, alas he’ll most likely be given a decent burial... shame says I.

Right I’m off to listen to some classical music, something by the Richard Blackmore quintet should suffice.

Well played chaps by the way ... onward to glory.

Only married women allowed in with their husbands. Ideas above their station now some of them have got the vote.

I’m glad people are wearing hats because it keeps the head lice away.

Does anyone know anything about printing presses? My friend Ben is having problems producing the latest NSC newsletter but it is not working.

Yes, he has tried to wind it up and down again!

 

[Thunder Bolt]

I'm not sure that showing a lady's ankles is appropriate for these pages. You can take your filth elsewhere. I assume you are a young 'un. I dread to think of the standards that this world will offer a century from now. My son said that he was most shocked to see a picture of a woman's stomach. I think such talk is youthful exaggeration. I console myself it will never be that coarse. Although I despair of Mr Crodo and his pictures of bare women's calves.

The brazen hussy having a photograph taken when she’s in her deshabille. She should be locked up.

Proudly sporting my Junior Dolphin mittens

A Frenchman!??!?! The very thought of it!

As I was shining my shoes ready for church last evening I heard Ebeneezer Barber on the wireless explaining to Mr Cholmondely-Warner that the Albion have plans to install some seating at the ground. I’ve never heard anything so ridiculous in all my life. Next thing you know they’ll be banning smoking, swearing and flasks, and opening a shop with a range of liveried headwear that unnecessarily changes every season.

You mean 1922/23?

I should think it would be jolly good fun. The odd mountebank and bounder. Probably fewer racists.

Fewer racists? You're kidding! Just think how the first class passenger from Chailey would have re-acted had the porter allowed a n***** or a w** into the same compartment as his wife! And on his way home he might have bought his son a good honest adventure story in which a gallant English lad outwits and defeats the devious and dastardly efforts of various d*goes, w*ps, sp*cs, l*scars, not to mention some devilishly wicked slanty eyed ch*nks! .............. and huns ..............

I'll be flabbergasted if 'Chubby' Tate doesn't get a call to take on the colonies soon.

Sussex are a disgrace - a one man team these days - when Tate disappears on test match duty, we're completely screwed.
Look at the Kent match this week - absolutely hammered, failed to score 130 in either innings. If it hadn't been for Chub's nine wickets and 50, it would have been over in a day.

 

[Brovion]

What's a striker? Centre forward, inside left or inside right if you please.

Yes, I did point that out to the gentlemen myself. (I appreciate our telegrams may have crossed). We need an NSC expression for when someone repeats another correspondent; I wonder if someone, somewhere will think of one sometime in the future?

Anyway, I fear we will all be disappointed. Good centre forwards cost the earth, maybe as much as two thousand pounds.

I saw a young fellow not wearing a hat. In front of women and children, too. Disgusting.

Sorry old chap, I lost my hat yesterday when Sergeant Murphy came in 1st in the Grand National yesterday, rather spiffing too, wining five guinea's, I got rather blotto on the proceeds and woke up on the cobbles outside the Bat & Ball, my hat, fake gold pocket watch all gone !
I only had thruppence and half a packet of Player's Navy Cut left..

It took some explaining to Doris where the housekeep has gone, but little John, Alfred, Frank, Betty, Albert, Fanny, Harry, Arthur, Irene, Joyce, Donald & Edward can all stay at Warren Farm Children's institute for another week I guess, can't afford to bail them out until I have got a new hat.

PPF just makes kickoff, after a celebration in London.




Thanks to the technical marvel of our age, the Pullman.

North Stand Chat you say CHAT??

Surely in today's civilised world, where conversations can be held almost instantaneously by letter, telegram, messenger boy and the like, only women, greengrocers and villains "chat".
I thought this forum was a genuine attempt for gentlemen supporters to objectively and politely discuss the trials and tribulations (less so the latter perhaps)of recent games and the potential for further improvement of the team, the club and the Bovril.
Whatever happened to a proper gentlemen's conversation?

I insist that you change the brand immediately to North Stand Conversations - which I think you will agree has a certain gentlemanly ring to it?

 

[Questions]

Come on everyone it’s fridat……

I’m all up for a refreshing pint of mild and a bitter lemon for the missus

 

[thedonkeycentrehalf]

Don't like the new jerseys that the team are running out in this season. They have replaced the old lace up collar with buttons - buttons! It's as if someone wants to turn them into some sort of fashion item that the oiks in the North Stand might want to wear on the summer charabanc outing to Bognor Regis.

My Great Uncle was actually at the West Ham FA Cup game

Jack Woodhouse: lovely centre parting, wears his shorts long - and quite right too. 6 7/8
George ‘cool as a’ Coomber - 8 3/4
Wally Little - our very own little Wally, is a real grower - 9 4/5 and a yard of jute.
Andy Neil - strangely contemporary sounding - 7.5.

Jack Jenkins - always solid is Jack, one of our own - 6 and a stick of rock.
Tommy Cook - legend, 10.
Tug Wilson - works best with Wally little, but never underestimate Tug, he’ll always be remembered - 7 and a quart of salt.
