I always seemed to end up standing behind one of the posts though/
Notice all the kids sitting over the wall, in that photo.

It was full too both top and bottom! Must have been a 30000 crowd back then. Most of them will have died by now, most of their kids and grandchildren will have moved away following the demise of local industry or been lured away by the hopelessness of football without a max wage amplified by the constant advertising / marketing of a few big city clubs by the press and media .... Oh and most of their houses will be occupied by non football supporting immigrant families with no ingrained family history to Brfc.
Damn shame of course, almost sinful and a betrayal of the English footballing public but as the old saying goes "the only constant in life is change". Just a pity that change isn't always for the better.

My only claim to fame.

He's allowed one mistake in a career, Drog, or more probably he noticed me in the crowd, and thought, "there's Dave Birch, I'll give him something to talk about in his later years"

Roger Hunt. A fantastic footballer. RIP

I still have his autograph from when he opened Chorley Youth Centre which my Dad was instrumental in setting up.
