Be good in the new stadium where the museum is going to be 3 times the size of the current one, if they had a section of fan related memorabilia.

Richard: Fan related memorabilia That is a great idea.

 

Can we have one of those Shoot Magazine League tables and teams . remember they were the ones you used to get in the 1970s in August at the start of every season.

And you kept them going for a least a week into each season.

Backbiter: Yeah and gradually teams then went 'missing'. In others words they were hovered up by my mum !

That was the first thing I thought when I read erskblue's post!

Beerqueen: Glad it wasn't just me then. Back then (say by the first week in Sept 1977 ) all over the British Isles, teams would 'go missing'...

 

 

I don't think I ever did the Division 2 teams even for as long as a week, apart from when we were there.

It took for-bleeding-ever to update them!

Barqueen: My old man had The Observer' delivered on a Sunday back then, as he liked a decent read of the English football.

 

 So I would have á chance to update my League tables (when I could be bothered), when he'd finished reading it.

 

I usually just stuck to Division 1 and  Division 2 when we were in 2.

The year I was 12 I kept a folder in which I updated all our results, teams and stuck cuttings in from the newspapers.  I still have the folder - maybe I should donate it!  I also have a letter from about the same era from Chelsea giving me permission to get the players autographs after the match.

 

Oh and the photo of me with Ken Swain after a sponsored walk to raise money for the club!  Imagine, a sponsored walk!

A sponsored walk to raise funds for the club !

How much Chelsea have changed, as has football on general since those days.

That could be career ending right there.

What a great flag.

Backbiter: Looks like Chopper Harris or Tommy Smith has tackled that Subbuteo player...

Surely its not the same flag is it..

 

Not CFC but still Chelsea related.

 

 

 

Eric Liddell (Chariots of Fire) at the British Empire versus United States of America (Relays) meet held at Stamford Bridge, London on Sat 19 July 1924

scott: What a great picture of Eric Liddell. This race was shortly after he won his 400m Gold in the Paris Olympic Games of 1924.

 

My grandparents saw him run at Cappielow Park,Greenock certainly in 1923 and 1924 and also a few times at Ibrox Stadium at the Rangers FC Annual Sports Meetings in the early 1920s.

Eric Liddell ran at The Bridge in the AAA Championships in the 100 and 220 yards, These took place on Friday 6th and Sat 7th July 1923 and he won the 100 yards in a new British Record of 9.7 and the 220 yards in 21.6.

 

He also ran on Monday 6th Aug in 'The British Games' Open 100 yards where he placed 4th in a 'blanket finish' all the top 4 runners being timed at 10.4 secs.

 

At the same event shown in the photo.

 

Eric Liddell later ran in the Mile Medley relay. (440, 220, 220, 880 yards) He ran the 440 yard leg and his team were second.

Surely its not the same flag is it..

Could be but the bus one looks bigger I think

Great picture of the 1970 FA Cup winners with the 1954/55 Championships Flag.
