chicken this, chicken that
lovely stuff
wonder how that first photo was taken… airship?
also what’s all the things in rows at the near side of the photo… carriages?
Last day of the season at Barnet, would have been circa 2000. The lad getting attacked by Bees captain Greg Heald was at my school. He was very pleased with himself on the Monday iirc.
It’s also known as the white horse final as there’s a famous picture of a police officer on a white horse clearing the crowds off the pitch. I love photos of the old stadiums, Hampden Park had some huge crowds as well.
yeah I’ve seen the footage from inside the stadium lots of times but never that aerial photo. epic.
Always a bit seeing that sort of photo post Bradford Fire and Hillsborough, even though the segregation infrastructure which made those disasters worse isn’t in place.
Aldridge is in this one, too
From when we beat England 5-1 at bowling. What a day.
The first of three ‘Hampden Parks’. You’d think that with our nation’s history of inventing shit we’d at least be able to come up with a new name for our football grounds.
