Love those old news reels- crowd "reactions" filmed before the game etc. How difficult would it be for any Villa fan to get to that game- middle of the cold war, restricted travel, currency restrictions etc etc?

Good stuff, love the banner! I wonder if we played a weakened team as we were playing Stoke a few days later...
When did the rattle disappear from football grounds?
Quote from: adrenachrome on January 24, 2014, 06:48:26 PMWhen did the rattle disappear from football grounds?The early sixties, pretty much when chanting really took hold. The rosette lasted a little longer. I remember seeing them for sale at the 71 league cup final but they had long since disappeared from 'normal' games.
