Can you delete the space after the hyphen in the title please? Otherwise it is only going to annoy me for ten years or so.

Of course.

These are great. Slightly different views of the ground at this time than the most widely shared/ available ones. It makes me think that it would be interesting to scan the archives to build up a comprehensive record of the ground in the Edwardian era.

I was at the game and completely missed the brolly as was too involved in what older folks would call a terrace mental. Great day even it was ruined by getting lost driving through Croydon and ending up on the southerly part of the M25. I’ve also just realised that was 30 years ago.

Boxing Day 1968- in hindsight I reckon this is when AVFC woke up and the 12 year repair job began. Others may rightly have different opinions.

Nice one.
