Apologies for posting a video showing Spurs on this forum but it shows the Bridge in 1921 FA Cup Final. A big crowd and the pitch was in a terrible state.  Australian cricketers in the crowd. Love the steward trying to move supporters on. Pitch invasion at the end.

 

What superb footage especially for 1921. I reckon that's Earls Court station at the beginning there.

That would have been nice! And the players appear to be wearing black or brown boots. So much different from nowadays when it's all the colours of the rainbow.

Looks like you can see the platform for the old bill in these pictures.

There was one in the white wall, one in the middle and I think one more towards the west side. Usually a couple of old bill in each.

Sunderland away 1975/76.

Just liked this picture for the packed terrace and the police gap in it.

I’d forgotten there was one in the middle. Was looking at that pic thinking it doesn’t look like the one I remember in the Whitewall......Laurel and Hardy theme tune  etc

Not sure where and when this photo was taken.

Temporary seating in the Shed End.
