Brilliant.

The one with the smoking canteen staff is one for the social history books too.

Social history, you say? Veering off BWFC topic here but try Sefton Samuels' Northerners, much of it visible here, including perhaps the finest ever start to a picture caption: "Trombonist Ken 'Seven Pints' Parkinson..."

Looks like Philliskirk on that one, so that'd be a Friday night, I think

Lost 2-1?

Sounds horribly familiar.

Clarke was definitely active around that time - there's a corker of Tony P curling a 20yd free-kick in at the Lever End, backdropped by the Normid

Spookily, our picture ed's just called me over to have a look at a shot from the last Burnden game, jocularly asking "Can you see yourself" - and by Jove, I can

What isn't clear is that there were about a dozen rows of terracing on our end

Then behind a grassy/muddy bank

Right at the top a sort of bus shelter made out of corrugated sheet

nb I say our end, but truth is, the whole place was 'our end'

Aye, I would've been

One year, we had a minibus hired to go to Chesterfield in the cup

Game was called off so waste not, want not, we went to Wigan v Hartlepool instead

Almost started a riot - them monkey hangers didn't need any encouragement to trash the bus shelter!

Followed by full body, face first slides down the banking

We just gave it a knowing look and supped a bit more

Good work. IIRC it was one of the Boxing Day ones. The rozzers had ordered a 10:30 kick-off so no-one could go the pub, so we all got wankered on Merrydown from that little offy that was lower down instead. :pissed:

sorry, that'd contravene copyright

I'll ask permission to publish a lower-res or watermarked version 'cos they'll happily sell copies. Taken side-on from Embankment looking straight down the Paddock. There's probably hundreds of TW readers on there.

Took my then girlfriend on our 3rd date to that game. You would have thought she'd have got out there and then. Married almost 18 years now.

Not once you're in a football ground m'friend. Otherwise all season ticket holders would be rebroadcasting streams...
