Flat caps were the baseball caps of the day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When they put the seats in we almost went back to square 1. yeah , even the regulars on west stand lower tier claimed they had a better atmosphere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We eventually gave it up as a bad job and all got season tickets in the North stand. When people cottoned on we could make more noise in the North a lot followed however the difference in price was an issue for many. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pauli Posted July 5, 2016 Share Posted July 5, 2016 I'm the bloke in the top hat and monocle about half way back. Usually went on the South but they couldn't change a five pound note. Had to go on the Kop with the rabble and paid with my thruppny bit that I was saving for the ride home in a Hansom cab. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor John Posted July 6, 2016 Share Posted July 6, 2016 I used to stand at the front of the Kop triangle throughout the 1960s - rather than atmosphere, what I remember is the choice language and the rattles and rosettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
