I think this photo is us away at Spuds in 84, an 1130am kick off, all ticket, a 1-1 draw, we scored early on, and Paul Canoville had the chance to win it late on but put it over.  The Police had put barriers up the middle of Tottenham High Road to try to segregate fans well before the ground.  Massive turn out from our mob.

You're right about it being Spurs away in 84. Great team and great shirt.

Friday 3rd April 1953. Official attendance of 72,618! Unofficial attendance, who knows!😀

 

Found these two pics from that Arsenal game in April 1953.

I've a copy of this book somewhere at home.

Against Leeds in April 1989.

Next Saturday, 28th January ‘The Big Match Revisited’ on ITV 4 from 10.30 -11.30,is showing our home game from 17th November 1979 v Charlton.

Just a heads up for anyone interested.

I think that one of our veteran posters is in this picture. One of the kids at the edge of the pitch. Might be wrong though.

My parents had some Schreiber furniture. I think I had some when I moved into my first property. As you say it was piss poor. I've never smoked but my Dad did and when I was a kid my Dad would send me up to the local newsagent to buy cigarettes for him. Can't do that nowadays.

Same as. My mum would send me to the corner shop with a note, normally for Peter Styveson Blue, though she changed brands a bit over the years.

Fairly sure my old man fitted a Shreiber kitchen once. They were all the rage and quite aspirational in a weird 70s way, even though they were rubbish by modern standards. Formica I think

Barry Venison you just forget !

I was at the game I used the last of my savings in my post office account do you remember those little blue books ?. It was my sister's birthday as well so I had to buy her a present. You had to leave a minimum of 50p in the account they had an amnesty about 10 years ago might have been longer not sure what the interest on 50p would be over 35 years 🤣

One of THE great days in all my years of going to the Bridge. The Shed was absolutely rammed, the atmosphere was phenomenal, and we played out of our skins to beat the then European champions.

Even though we were sh!te in those days in division 2, we still had it in us to provide some thrills.

@The Rising Sun Not sure. I've noticed when I've used my laptop and my android phone. I keep forgetting to ask one of the admins. Anyone else having problems opening images?

I'm no expert but what I think might be happening is if you are copy and pasting or drag and dropping. Best thing to do is download any pictures and just click on choose files on here.

My mate just sent me these from the same game. Geezer doing his Shakin Stevens with his double denim not a good look for 1989 🤣

Good point, cheers. I've done both. Depends on whether I use my phone or laptop. Will download and see what happens.
