Think it's the Goldstone. East doesn't look that deep though.

That's the view I used to have from my favoured standing point in the South West.

Looks like a foul on the keeper to me. Probably not given in those days.

I love all the old boys in suits and ties. My old used to work sometimes on a Saturday morning, but he used come and change into a collar and tie before going to the Albion

They were replaced by the all-white kit in Pat Saward's first season in charge in 1970/71 before stripes returned the following campaign.

Depends which one you mean! Far too late for the ex Spurs striker; but possibly his namesake. Team that day was Powney, Gall, Templeman, Smith, J Napier, Turner, Tawse, Lawton, Dawson, Spearitt, Armstrong. Sub: Flood (replaced Smith).

Thanks. So the legendary stripes appeared August 1971, ready for the promotion season and big crowds.
