Old faces North stand circa 1990ish

Fair smattering of 60+ year olds in the thick of it

The bit round the edge of the pitch was sandy and the team would sometimes run round it. So as we knew no better we called it............The running track. Are you a JCL.

Orrible stuff, a mix of orange sand, grit and napalm, you didn't see Paul Clark rolling about like a baby when landed on it though

If it is, that's a big chap for nine (assuming this is 1990).

I recognise the lass in front of the Camillin-alike. Don't know her name, though.

I reckon it's about 1992 based on the kit. Also I think Paul would have been a couple of years older than than that....

That photo looks like the queue for a charter boat fishing trip with Jack Nicholson

 

[catfish]

That could well be him. I recognise the bloke to the left of him with the light ginger hair and tash. He's been around for years and pretty sure I see him at The Amex still.

That's Mr Rocker himself.

No, but plenty of his victims had the scars afterwards, legend of the times. I LOVED the ground, players and atmosphere in the 70/80's

I'm two rows down from you and to the left standing next to my mate David. Well I think its me, That person is def short enough...but it looks like I've got glasses on...I am blind as a bat but I can't believe I would have worn glasses to a football match I'm far too vain!

What's the point of going to a football match that you are not going to be able to see?

I never heard the touch-line, warm-up, non-grass bit called a running track before - thought poster was confusing with Withers.
I think's its called red-clay, similar to French open tennis courts?

JCL? Hardly, Boxing day '67 was first game for me .....

Ashley Barnes kept asking Billy Paynter the same thing

Always remember watching training one day from the East Stand, the players were doing shuttle sprint races right in front of the terrace upon said 'track'. Teddy Maybank was racing against Paul Clark and Teddy evidently thought that Tank had not run the full distance and called him a 'f%&*ing cheating ****' with a smile until he remembered the audience and apologised.

 

[Cadiz Seagull]

I'm looking a little 'chinny'!

Blimey, I'm there as well but have no idea how to add an arrow

Maybank apologised? He didn't apologise for shaving his nuts in front of me in the sauna at Corals in 1993

It's Jan 1st 1994 - Albion 4 Cambridge 1.

 

[The Stout Yeoman]

Note the lack of people holding up mobiles too.

And women....

Can't honestly say I've ever seen anybody holding up women ?

 

[Miami Seagull]

Great pic. I am there close to the left edge with my dad and brother. Still miss standing at games.

 

[The Stout Yeoman]

Slightly older but still a regular ... -

I never remember your chin being that big either!
