No politics in this thread please mate more people get banned over political arguments than football ones on this forum.

Yikes ! I'm surprised anyone's left after the Corona virus discussions on here which were nothing BUT political arguments !

A couple of the guys I go to the games with started going to the Bridge in the mid-sixties. I'll ask them if they've heard of the North Stand being called the dolls house.

Was in the pub last night and spoke to a fellow Chelsea fan who started going to the Bridge in the sixties and for many years stood in the old North Stand and asked him about it being called the dolls house. He had never heard the term.

I must admit I've never heard the term either I'll try and find the tweet.

Wow great pics bluhaze ,never seen them...does the article say what year that work to the ground was done?

Saw this on Facebook. I have a copy of the 1969-1970 book. I was given a copy by a guy I used to work with. A good read. Anyone got copies?

Well I went to my first game in 74 so I'm trying to remember when any work was done to the shed after that.. 79 when they put up the corrugated iron and not sure when the fence by the West Side came in mid 80's I think. The benches were turned into concrete slabs after Sunderland 85 so maybe they did a bit of work then. That billboard thing I have no recollection of that at all and might have been put there by the builders. One way of dating some photos but you can't do it with this as it's not clear is the prefix for London phone numbers it used to be 01 and went to 071 in 1990.

Just found the tweet Boyne it was from a gooner so he was obviously taking the piss. I didn't notice the little cannon on his avatar I'll have to start using my specs more often !

@bluehaze Cheers, As you say, a gooner taking the piss. I wear specs as well and have missed a few things over the years!

Funnily enough i have never noticed or seen that score board thing in any picture Bluehaze ,very odd.

My first game was Sept 1973 and Me and my mum were in the west stand and the Shed as i recall was Exactly as it was until the day it was finally pulled down.

i need to google a bit more !

Googled it. The information came from Christie’s site. Posh eh😀

Great view from up there in the old North stand

Not sure if posted before. From the 1921 FA Cup Final.

Possibly Alan Young second from right back row

And possibly Joe Fascoime between John Boyle and John Hollins

Think this might be that same team picture from a different angle.

 

Cheers Ersk ,must admit ive never heard of Alan Young ,he looks a beast though

He was a central defender who played in our 1965 League Cup winning side.

Played 20 first team games for us. I had to check up too to be honest.

Sadly he passed away a few years ago.

I saw that  1967 team picture with the names at the bottom of it.  When I was looking for something else.
