A couple of pictures of the Rising Sun/Butchers Hook pub. I reckon the top picture was taken in the thirties. Pub played a role in the foundation of the club. It's where the club founders met there in 1905.

Very interesting, comparing the two photos. I noticed that some of the  chimney stacks have disappeared, probably to make room for renovations inside and that tree on the right has shot up.

From the programme the original quote was Friday Training before a home game 80/81 season. There are 12 players plus Geoff Hurst and Bobby Gould, so back then they knew the lineup early!

Cheers mate.

Two days after beating Newcastle 4-0 such a terrible night. I've still got the programme we were so skint then we couldn't afford to change the cover so it says Chelsea v Wigan or Northwich Victoria.

I didn't see who we were playing was written at the top of the picture and so spend some time trying to work out who it was !

DOH !!

 Early - mid 1980s I think .

78/79 79/80 quite a few games called off and as you say the club was skint. Club just printed a piece and put it inside the old programme.

Wasn't only Chelsea who did this back then.

I clearly remember a few Scottish clubs doing the very same thing.

 Mark Hughes playing for us v Villa.

  Ruud, on the day he was announced to the press ( I think !)

 Charlie Cooke at the Bridge.

 

A good picture of the ground during the refurbishment. I reckon it's 96/97, the last season of the old West Stand and the first of the Matthew Harding.

 

Great picture Boyne... my brain is telling me I never knew about the Umbro logo and old badge being on the roof of the west stand....anybody know what the wording reads ?

'Partners into the next season.'

I hoped it might read. If you can read this you are flying too low !
