leftsideoverhere Posted 6 March 2009 Share Posted 6 March 2009 A few days ago I stumbled across the programme from the first LCFC game I ever saw, home to Sunderland in the old division two in October 1979. It was really bizarre to read it, and compare it the programmes on sale these days. There's a quarter page advert for "Emmanualle's Cinema Club" showing "uncensored films" and a "new season of exciting adult movies". Brand new replica kits were on sale for £5.90 in the club shop (pretty sure that's the one I got for Christmas that year, replacing the Liverpool kit I'd worn before working out where I lived). The National Coal Board was advertising for "men wanted for jobs in mining", while a firm of building contractors was advertising for carpenteters to help build the new Glenfrith Hospital. Match tickets were £2, or £3 in the centre of the main stand, and there was an article from the club's commercial director objecting to the opening of a Leicester branch of the "Forest Supporters Club", and calling on City fans to "repel the invasion" and describing Jock Wallace (city's manager at the time) as "leading the fightback on the battle front". Such language in a football programme these days would probably get the club fined for bringing the game into disrepute. I can't imagine local firms advertising in a football programme for manual workers, now that football is such a "family-oriented" (read: middle-class) entertainment industry. And I certainly can't imagine City fans being encouraged to visit a porno cinema by Filbert Fox! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
