That's players and fans celebrating the installation at Bramall Lane of a telephonic device in order that we could facilitate transfers within the constraints laid down at the time. Yet another false dawn.......

Looks as though they've drafted in police from Durham and Greater Manchester. Nothing ever changes.

Not gone through the whole thread but has this been posted before? Surprising good quality film from when the team were 13 years into their existence.

Stood on BL end versus Chelsea 1968ish ? and watching pigs trotting full pelt from kop along that pavilion to join the visiting supporters.
W****y & Chelsea. That's what they were squealing and oinking.
Mick Hill put us one up, but Chelsea got two and down we went.
Not have any justifiable reason to hate the pigs ? Share that with me.

If Silent would like to cross i's and dot the t's, very welcome to.

My Wendy supporting uncle was at the match! Osgood scored the equaliser and Baldwin headed in the winner. My dad said Hodgy was in tears after the final whistle.

[Silent Blade]

Many thanks Silent.

He said he recalled Birchenall shrugging his shoulders and putting his hands up towards the Kop after the winning goal

Len Badger and Albert Johannessen?

Yes, October 1964, I think. Lost 4-1. Badger sent off

My mates father ran this pub back in the 80's, before moving up to the Queen's at Mosborough.

It’s hard to believe an architect designed that and thought it looked good.

House bricks were relatively expensive in the sixties, hence so many buildings contained large windows, plaster facias, pebble dash over building blocks, only gabled ends and a few rows under the roof. Anyway, it was good inside with that curving staircase and comfy art-deco chairs. The women were ok too as I recall.

The building on the right was the 6th storey Herriots House or nicknamed "hectors house" by the students and was part of Sheff poly. It was on Ponds Hill. It housed the Computer department that had a £1m IBM 360 mainframe on the ground floor. I was there 74-78, but not sure of the exact date of the photo, but that was a lot of money in it's day. Think IT's moved on a bit !

Obviously now, it's the ponds forge site

Some absolute legends there showing in the results column.

The amazing fact about those results is that i (and many more reading this) know every goalscorer that day. You would know almost every team inside out as players stayed with their clubs for years , unlike todays lot. I would struggle to name half of the prem clubs players these days.

Can see the old club shop so photo was from early 1970s?

 

[Cerberus Blade]

The same car is parked in the same place! Are the police aware?

I remember going on a school trip to see this (yes I know, it's not skiing or New York, but entertainment was in short supply in Dronfield in the 70's!), in about 1972. There were lots of spinning tapes but precious little evidence of meaningful activity. I suspect that my current phone can perform many more complex feats than that huge building, but are we happier, I ask you, are we?!?!?

you are indeed correct - see below

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IBM_System/360

in brief, it could have: (copied and pasted from the article)

The larger 360 models could have up to 8 MB of main memory,[5] though main memory that big was unusual—a large installation might have as little as 256 KB of main storage, but 512 KB, 768 KB or 1024 KB was more common. Up to 8 megabytes of slower (8 microsecond) Large Capacity Storage (LCS) was also available.

lol - 8 MB !!! of main memory - wow.

I remember working at James Neills tools on Napier Street (Cobol programming) for a year during my course and they had one too. It took ALL night to run/test programs and had a team of 4 people for each shift (3 shifts in total) - quite unbelievable really.

Believe 67/68 V Man City home lost 0-3, at least that's what the shorts, the background and the book says to me.
