Grr. Can't believe they still use Flash. Looks interesting, but not worth installing Flash to watch. Is there another source for this?

Edit: guessing this is the same?

My Grandfather was in the crowd. He would have been 116 yesterday.

Our record attendance. 68,287 from memory. My Grandad was there (he would be 100 if he was alive). You couldn't see anything due to the fog.

We were at home against Spurs in the sixth round: only 20,000 or so attended, after the fiasco of the previous round.

Mine too. I remember him telling me about it. He'd be 114.

That's like the channel 5 highlights. Nice turn by the player in the Grimsby game at the end.

Mine would now be 107. There was no chance he was there as he was serving in the Army at the time, but wouldn't have ventured anyhwere near as we were a big Wednesdayite family. Him, his 5 brothers and his dad were all of the blue persuassion.

Fortunately my dad saw the light and the rest is history.

My grandad was there, would have been 105 by now. My great grandad was there as well, he'd be 130.

 

[Weasel]

Haven't got the foggiest (quite apt really) whether my Grandad was there or not...though quite possibly he was. Neither have I got a clue how old the old twonk would be now. I do know however that if he was taken to the Lane tomorrow he would be a bit ripe. They would have to dig him up first as well.

The desso looks poor back in the day

Some very interesting football kits there.

The scary thing is that that season is the last time we played in a cup final :O for now

Wonder if anyone who was there is still alive. If you were 12 in 1936 you'd be 93 today.

Probably Newbury Blade 's uncle

My Uncle Fred was 13 and is now 94. Don’t know if he was at the game but will find out. He certainly went to games in the 1930s.
