Our fans in 1936

[Silent Blade]

I have seen other footages of the 1936 FA Cup final but this one showed Blades fans in the train on the way to London and back.

I know how they feel, leaving Wembley after a defeat!

The one with the Hitler tache still using his rattle in the last few seconds of the footage!

2:09 "circumstances with which the public are familiar, for they have had considerable press publicity, make it difficult for the newsreel to present a comprehensive record of Arsenal's victory"
Excuse my ignorance, does anyone know what circumstance he's referring to?
Rise of Nazism, Sky broadcasting rights or something else?

The FA (I think) banned tv cameras from the 1936 final

Which ones Bert?

 

[Tyler Durden]

And the bell end who narrated it still called us 'Sheffield' despite the fact that we were a pretty big deal at the time.

Been there done that.

I wanted to invade Poland for a day or two after but I got over it

To be fair to the bloke, in 1936 Hitler hadn't started exterminating Jews or invading Poland or owt. I would imagine that look was quite fashionable.

 

[JohnDenver]

Good to know they were to blame in 1936 too.

He sent 22,000 troops into the demilitarised zone of the Rhineland in March 1936

My Dad (age 19 at the time) and his Dad were there, but I could not spot them. Never met Granddad perhaps he was Mr Hilter,

That escalated quickly.

Someone arguably more famous at the time had the same moustache - Charlie Chaplin.

Win or lose, on the booze.

Should have had a penalty. Bastard referee!

from wiki

Wembley bosses were in dispute with newsreel companies over the broadcast rights for the 1936 final.[19] Gaumont British Film Company initially had offered £900 to film inside the ground, but this was refused by the authorities who wanted a sum of £1,500. They later backed down and said that they would accept the initial offer, but the film company was now only willing to pay £500.[20] A solution could not be reached, and the media were banned from inside of the stadium. To get around the ban and be able to report on the match, a number of autogyros were hired to fly the reporters over the stadium giving them a birds–eye view of the match,[19] with the only filming inside Wembley conducted by the official stadium cameraman.[20] Autogyros had been used to film the final in 1935, and also by the Metropolitan police for crowd control.[21]

It was the first year that commentators were used in the broadcast of an FA Cup final, with the BBC describing it as an "experiment".[22] The first commentators were Ivan Sharpe and Norman Creek, who broadcast from 2:30 pm onwards before the game to take in the pre–match entertainment.[22]

Another first for the Blades I didn't know about.

My Dad (age 19 at the time) and his Dad were there, but I could not spot them. Never met Granddad perhaps he was Mr Hilter,

My father (aged 12) and grandfather were there too- couldn't spot them either. There were one or two there though

He sent 22,000 troops into the demilitarised zone of the Rhineland in March 1936

He was pretty much vilified on the left in 1936 as he was imprisoning socialists and communists and persecuting (though not exterminating) Jews. He had also withdrawn Germany from the League of Nations and the Disarmament Conference and was just about to start supporting the military rebels against the democratic government in Spain. On the right, he was generally viewed as a bit of a vulgar chap, who perhaps took things a little too far, but as he put those scabrous lefties in their places. basically a good egg.

Is that Alf Samuels, father of Martin the rather shifty journo at 0:43 who was a bit hungry and brought his mate 'Arfa Loaf' in with him concealed in his bag?

Voice over a bit like a Harry Enfield parody !

Is that you at 00:32 in the Trilby Silent Blade ?

And as a second point and you will probably know this anyway but Cliff Bastin suffered from deafness, I don't know if he was profoundly deaf or not though

Lost some of his hearing in his early 20s. A deaf Portsmouth fan (now dead) that I know recalled seeing Alex James making gestures at Cliff Bastin during a match he saw. Burnley's Billy Nesbit was profoundly deaf all his life and he won the 1914 FA Cup winners medal and the 1921 League Championship medal

All those Blades, all the stories, the days away, the ups and the downs.

Forums like this will provide a Treasure Trove for those following behind us

Though looking at those formidable gentlemen about to win a World War, in their Shirts, Ties and Best Jackets

Would they be impressed with us fuckers ? ................
