Great photo. Spurs v Wolves, she was the first woman in the Blue Room.1959. Jayne Mansfield is introduced to the crowd. The blokes all look very happy - I suppose we must have been winning.

Lately I've been getting real yearnings for old school terracing. I think I'm going to head to some non league this season to get back to some good old fashioned football watching.

wow, that is beautiful. Check the old tv platform.
I was going to the odd Brentford game for the same reason before lockdown. Not many decent terraces left in the leagues now. Peterborough? Carlisle?!Lately I've been getting real yearnings for old school terracing. I think I'm going to head to some non league this season to get back to some good old fashioned football watching.
Loved that time - my preferred viewpoint, right at the front of The Shelf, wouldn't have swapped it for the Chairman's seat.
My eldest is good friends with a Bees fan and we were making plans to go to the last game at Griffin Park but Covid saw that plan off. As you say good terraces are fast disappearing.I was going to the odd Brentford game for the same reason before lockdown. Not many decent terraces left in the leagues now. Peterborough? Carlisle?!

Nearest - Cambridge, Wycombe, Peterborough
Carlisle looks a nice big terrace
Bollox!! was thinking that Carlisle v Orient would be a good one to go for - they bloody well played that one last week (1-1)Wycombe is on a par with Stevenage and Crawley - not really old school. Carlisle still has a large standing terrace in front of their main stand. Bit of a track though. Exeter and Peterborough could be interesting but none are easy to get to.
Same here. As a boy I used queue outside waiting for the turnstiles to open so that I could get a place at the front.Loved that time - my preferred viewpoint, right at the front of The Shelf, wouldn't have swapped it for the Chairman's seat.
