You forget how many times that Tony Rees laid the ball off on standing one / two passes, and made defenders look like mugs !! Enjoyed a West Brom 4-1 thumping the other evening - shame I only have the Freeview on the kitchen tv !!

Not sure when it was or who the opposition were. Shows the old pontoon stand https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jH17_tgPhZE That's a strange one isn't it? Shows more of the main stand than anywhere else and there's quite a small crowd which would be unusual for the 1920s/30s. Also, both sides appear to be playing in quartered shirts, no stripes on view. Town didn't play in quarters after WW1 so is it actually Town playing? Possibly a local cup final or a Lincs cup final? “If all mankind minus one, were of one opinion, and only one person were of the contrary opinion, mankind would be no more justified in silencing that one person, than he, if he had the power, would be justified in silencing mankind.” ― John Stuart Mill, On Liberty."

I suppose people got out a lot more then. [color=black]The Ecky 1977

I'd say somewhere in the 50s. But which one is Town?! Not obvious, but I think I've seen a kit that was mainly white shirts with a bit of black on it.
