purpleronnie Posted 8 March 2013 Posted 8 March 2013 Thought some would dig this. Shows quite a few old pictures of grounds. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2288458/Footballs-golden-years-From-Hampden-The-Dell--.html
I am Rod Hull Posted 8 March 2013 Posted 8 March 2013 Thought some would dig this. Shows quite a few old pictures of grounds. http://www.dailymail...The-Dell--.html Some cracking pictures there. Which game shown would you go to if you could go back in time? Villa 1932 for me, looks brill. Edit: Hampden for the European cup final in 1960 with a crown of 127,621

Edit: Hampden for the European cup final in 1960 with a crown of 127,621 they all look good. I have a collection of magazines that came out in the 70's it lists all the results of FA cup games and league tables from the very first games, plus it always has pictures of old grounds going back to the 1800's. All the grounds look amazing, I just think grounds look better without seats in them.

Watneys Draught Red Barrel, Drink Red Barrel near or far In pub or club or any bar, It's always good wherever you are, That's Watneys Draught Red Barrel!
Zingari Posted 8 March 2013 Posted 8 March 2013 Roll out red barrel Let's have Red Barrel today. Drink, drink, Red Barrel .............I can't remember the rest They used to advertise as " a fistful of flavour" , but that probably means something quite different these days.

OzFox Posted 9 March 2013 Posted 9 March 2013 I came across a shop in Windsor selling large size prints of Stamford Bridge (these shots were among them) The quality of the image was amazing, even in a big frame....would be nice if something similar existed for Filbert St
Fox92 Posted 9 March 2013 Posted 9 March 2013 Some great pictures, great read. The older grounds are still the best, Anfield has always been my favourite since my first visit.
