Would've loved to see this 1943 Wolves vs Swansea match when all the players were away fighting.

The little season ticket books where the turnstile ripped the game ticket out your book on entering 

Never used to be in number order either. 12 one game then 4 the next.

When they used to be in order a lot of people created forgeries in advance (Leicester market was rife). So by randomising the order it didnt give people the time to create a forgery.

I heard the "big debate" on the radio while driving to work yesterday.

 

Alan Brazil said that in the "Bigger Picture" that most Man Utd fans were more concerned with the lack of progress with the men's team, rather than being too bothered about the ladies team.

 

Which is true.

 

Being called out as a dinosaur by Shebahn Aherne who is entitled to her view, personally, I believe she was trying to get "one up" for the girls.

 

Just the way I see it.

I've since looked into this and the sate and fixture is wrong. It's not during the war. 

 

It's Wolves vs Arsenal FA Cup 4th round on 22 January 1938, which Wolves lost 1-2, attendance 61,267.

My dad had a pipe and the whole house smelled of it.

We had this when I was an apprentice, the 'staff' got served at their desks with a cup and saucer, the shopfloor mob had to bring their own mugs and wash them after.

 

Couple of events, the tea wasn't flowing one day it transpired there was a dishcloth in the bottom of the urn, another time the tea was all greasy with it floating on the top of the brew in the cups, someone had topped up a bowl of lard with sugar.

 

Favourite snack was battered potato slice in a cob.

There was a definite "hierarchy" in terms of tea breaks between as you say, "staff" and "shop floor".

 

Even lunch breaks were subject to a hierarchy when I first started work. I was an office trainee but still had superiority in that I could join the rest of the white collar staff and get to the canteen ahead of the general workers. The food on offer was the same, but "ours" was warmer than "theirs".

Our staff had their own canteen with waitresses and comfy armchairs to relax in. The shop floor had to provide their own cutlery and then wash them ina bowl on the counter when they’d finish. They weren’t even allowed in the office areas. As an apprentice we got to work in both areas mainly the drawing office. Even in there the women were classed as tracers not draughtsmen.

Where I worked, I could never understand why shop floor workers had to clock in, yet the office staff didn't.

Also, the pay disparity. I often asked why those who merely talked about the job, got paid more than those who actually did the job.
