Thanks for that. First thought was: Why are they all playing brass instruments?

same here Fatty! - one point, weren't buildings beautiful when they were all matt black?

Thanks for the silent film btw.

A player near the back of the charra is carrying a mascot, looks like Mickey Mouse (was he born yet?) or something, any bright ideas?

No, I like the shirts best - Fred has pre-dated the 1960's crew neck fashion by 40 odd years.

Oh aye - Pathé seems to have beaten 'Topical Budget' hands down in their coverage!

Good knowledge Shh.

It strikes me from the film that back then a crowd decked out in trilbies was the equivalent of fans standing up in front of you even though they've paid for a seat.

It would have been only polite for the crowd to take their hats off and then everyone (nearly) would have been able to see the game. Weren't cloth caps in fashion in the mid-1920s. I always wear the latter purely in order not to block the view of the bloke behind me and not to distract his view of the game by the glare of reflected light from my expanding tonsure.

Would that everyone was as holy as me.
