Anyone remember:

1.Football Rattles.

2.Rosettes.

3.The Guy in the black and white striped suit and top hat walking round the side of the pitch getting the crowd going.

4.The Telegraph Photographer and his HUGE camera, pulling HUGE photographic plates out the back and giving them to a lad who jumped on his bike and pedalled like hell to the offices to ensure they were printed in the Football Telegraph that evening.

5.The old guy who continually shouted "Are You There Wouldy" to our illustrious as then chairman F A Would.

6.Hanging numbered plates up on the fencing to give half time scores that would correspond with the fixtures in your programme. (never seemed to tally)

7.Coming down the back exit steps of the Barratts Stand and wondering if you would make it down before it collapsed, (or caught fire because of a stray dog
end).

8.Dads carrying stools and boxes for the kids to stand on. (Now banned under Health and Safety Regs)

9.Grown ups passing kids overhead to the front so they could sit on the ash track and see the game. (Also now banned under Health and Safety regs)

10. Brass bands marching before the kick off.(Grimsby Borough Police Band mainly)

11.Leaving your push bike in an old lasses front garden in Imperial Ave for a tanner, and trying to untangle yours from a stack of about 40 others after the game.

12.When no supporter in the ground could be seen wearing a match day shirt. (when did that start?)

Cos i do.

But I do remember those nbered boards depicting scores from other games, Christ i am older than I thought lol

Rolls of toilet paper thrown when we scored.  What was that about??

There was also a lack of information about the results of other matches.  But then we had a very different news management society.
