Just out of interest - because their North Stand was (seemingly) built for the world Cup in 1966 who paid the £100k?

I seem to recall that the pigs issued debentures to finance the north stand.
There was a category above ST holders called 'debenture holders'.
I can't remember exactly but my guess is that they had rights to a seat for a long period or even lifetime , and they were paid "interest" on the amount they invested.
I'm only 66 , so would have been told this as a child - someone on here will know more.
The stand was an iconic structure sat the time , possibly one of the first cantilever designs of such size.
It towered over the terraced houses on Vere Street but of course with a piggy council , no problem to get planning consent.

Not an old picture but I love this one of a mother lynx with her 7 kittens looking for some scran in Alaska. These are a lovely looking animal out in the wilds, no idea why some wankers first reaction is to try and kill them...

1962 and the pilot ejected just in time. He landed in a greenhouse full of tomatoes and suffered many broken bones and cuts from the glass as he smashed through it...

ITV's coverage team 1974 - they look like they're about to bundle you into the boot of a car. Who is stood next to Jack Charlton?

Someone who worked for ITV. Not an ex footballer or a commentator. Forgot his name.

The heads of Dougan and Jack Charlton look as if they have been inserted by AI…

Derek Dougan, what a character.
When much younger and for Blackburn at the Lane, Joe had him all tied up and in his back pocket. Never the less he persisted to get the upper hand but failed. Eventually conceded by standing and giving Joe a round of applause which in turn was reciprocated by the Blades faithful.
Charlton must have had AI cranium insertion..........worked at Hillsborough din't he?????????????????????

Someone has suggested elsewhere the Sutcliffe lookalike is John Borrington, Cloughie's barber!

The photo may encapsulate 70s fashion, but the Bauhaus, Wassily Chair is timeless.
