Always great to see the Brompton Cemetery next door.

Always walk through on way to match to pay my respects to my dad, grandad and grandma who are buried in the family plot and hear every cheer

Happy days at Upton Park in days gone by. Anyone around for the smack up in the corner where the South Bank met the Chicken Run - can’t remember which year that was?

Yes! I got the attendance from FriarDale Ersk .It was a big game too , think Grimsby were top and we could get close with a win . That attendance must be incorrect surely?

There was a bit of stuff in that corner before the night game over there when hammers were near top of table. We scored 2 goals at our end, Nevin got one ? Big crowd that night too

Agree with you.

I always double check (at least!😀) with the bounder.friardale site for anything Chelsea Historical.
