was that in 72 silent ? if it was it was lively on the shoreham that afternoon

Was this the February 1972 match when we had to play on a midweek afternoon due to miner's strike. Floodlights were not allowed.

Billy (seen here) scored a hat-trick.

One week after Santos / Pele played at Hillsborough.

March 1973 , scoreless draw. For the February 1972 match we had central white stripe (see photos below)



In Freddie's photo we wore the central red stripe (see the March 1973 photo below)

bornablade , the Santos match at S6 was a week before Billy scored the hat trick against Hammers

It was horrible, even for an artificial pitch. They used to put sand down in those days to deaden the bounce - I swear at Kenilworth Road they used the same stuff they gritted the roads with. Played on it once (when they used to hire it out) and got pushed over, landing on my knee - I was picking out bits of grit for a week!

The plastic pitch at the new King Ecgberts was similar

A plastic pitch was a mere pipe dream when I left King Ecgberts!

Indeed! And the less said about what you'd find in the long jump pit the better!

We used to play on the all weather at Collegiate Crescent on a Monday lunchtime …as long as it wasn’t frozen or too wet.
All weather you say…
