I was only 8 years old when I attended the game so memories of it are somewhat hazy.
Thanks to Xerxes and Stu1 for the pics and jogging my mind - much obliged.

Tch, beginners stuff. Look at one of the ads in the programme. "Half time? Time for half a chicken. Loynes Barbecue"

Sadly, you had to go up Dalton Road to get it. :D
It all comes 'round again.

I don't think anyone would have made a fuss about pies, or the lack of. In those days people were capable of actually going a whole afternoon without needing to eat.

Nice one!
And totally agree with you.
I've never understood the 'Need' to eat at a football stadium? The game only lasts for 90 mins.
Don't these people get fed?

I wonder where the Development Branch went for their ‘outings’?
