That’s exactly how it was when I started going. I even zoomed in to see ‘fowls’ written on the wall. In my mind, the Lane still looks like that.
Bert remembers that Fowls on the Kop wall.
 
Thanks for this, it was in the old cricket pavilion I remember - was it upstairs?
I don't believe so, memory says it was the level where the cricketers took to the field. I have an image, looking out of the windows seeing the whole of BDTBL's playing surface, if that helps. ECL has a more informed knowledge than myself as my attendance was only the one occasion. On reflection I regret not going in more often. The place reeked of historical sporting figures, recon if they were listed it would be longer than both arms. That's summot to do naw't footies off for awhile.
 
I haven't got a "fowls" on the wall, but I took this at at the same time....View attachment 73717
Excellent historical photos, THANK YOU for sharing your own work, as you'll soon realise there are many on this site who appreciate it greatly.
I feel almost peevish requesting, would it be possible to furnish a little info on the photos, e.g. dates or unusual tales associated. THANK YOU in advance.

XM657, I know exactly what you mean. I've been lurking around this forum for years and this thread has always been my favourite. One of the many benefits of being a old fart is the opportunity to reminisce. At least summat those young un's can't enjoy.
Anyway, thanks for the prompt and certainly I'll include dates and stuff where I can remember them !.
I'll check out my original "analogue"notes and update anon.

Welcome to S2 4SU old farts club, your obviously a true gentleman. Not too many of us left ;).
 

The day Boro beat Wendy 8-0
At the end of our game we waited on the John Street terrace for the fella to put up the scores over on the cricket pitch side. The ground was quiet and emptying as we watched the said fella approach the Wednesday score for what would be the last time. We wondered what he was doing until we worked out he was trying to tell us it was Boro 8 pigs 0 by showing us a number 6 and a number 2. He couldn't find a number 8 as such a score hardly ever occurred. A big cheer went up from those left behind :D Oh how we laughed on the way out.

I remember this too I was in the BLUT
 
Think Joe’s got tapes around his shin pads, otherwise no idea, Hodgy..
Joe has just turned socks over once, hence you can see top of the socks almost at his ankle, where as Bernard has tuned over several times hiding the two hoops. Believe it was an age thing older player showed hoops young'uns wanted plain soxs.
