Old Photos For No Reason Whatsoever

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

Do they do sofas?

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 quite the same thing but we had Original Shares, 1,000 I think, which entitled the owner to ground admission in perpetuity. Apart from a certificate, proof of ownership was a silver disc and there was a specific turnstile on John St. Holders were entitled to take a junior in and there’d be a queue of lads hopeful of getting in for free. My uncle had one which he lent to me occasionally, but they all disappeared along with the rights around the time of Mike McDonlad.

Do they do sofas?

Probably . Our dining chairs, bought just a couple of years ago, are based on a 1930s design. We think a lot of stuff is modern, but it has its roots from nearly a hundred years ago. And there’s nothing wrong with that. If the design is good, then it will stand the test of time .

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...

Because they're American and have to kill wild animals.

Wasn't that when Big Fat Racist Ron was playing for Oxford?

No, his last game for Oxford was in 1971, he had moved on to be manager of Kettering Town

Indeed. I worked at an archery factory for a while here and the reception area was like a fucking slaughterhouse. Heads of pretty much everything that walks around on four legs mounted on the wall. I used to tell them all that every time they killed one of Gods creatures their penis shrunk a little more, and that's why the English are so much better endowed than them.

One kid was driving home and he saw a mountain lion by the road so he pulled over and shot it. Absolute cunt of a trick. If you can't catch it or feight it, leave it the fuck alone

Here's a mountain lion, one of the most beautiful animals on earth and below is a dickless coward who I'd have no qualms about kicking the shit out of.

Attendance of 7,998.

3 weeks later, the attendance for their home match against Fulham dipped further to 7,925.

1973-74 was the season that they escaped relegation with a 1-0 win over Bolton in the final game.

They were relegated in bottom place the following season, 1974-75, playing out the season to regular 7-8,000 gates…save for their final home match when promotion-bound Aston Villa filled the East Bank to give them a 23,000 gate. Good times.

 

[Hanauer]

They did have massive crowds between 1947/1955. 7 consecutive seasons of 30K+ average attendances. Still in the other 140+ years of their existence they managed it 3 times.

Big shot. Wished there was a big lion above him, jumps on him and mauls him to death. Bet he's got a little tool and was bullied at school.

Remember as a young lad waiting at the turnstile and asking if the would take me in. Sometimes they did which was great. Memories !,

When you look at that big pile of muck called the east bank it's hard to believe they hosted SemiFinals there for all those years - must have had great influence at the FA

Thanks so maybe 91/92 as previous season was night match, or the FA cup quarter final?

Deane opened the scoring. Hodges goal was in the FA Cup a year later

Eight years on, happy birthday Old Photos thread.

Hopefully it's entertained the more mature supporter.
