The old scoreboard at the School End and its animation of those bizarrely shaped people celebrating home goals? Baggy shirts. Street parking. Shit scoreboards. Marvellous. |  | | |  |

And silk scarves tied around the wrist! |
What about the butchers white coats with the name of the team scrawled in felt tip all over them - usually worn by some shaven headed, doc marten wearing Neanderthal from Leeds or the Scum |  | | |

Oh dear, I can't believe I spelt it that way. Also, I was going to add, given our parlous goal rate, that if we scored 3 they would print ( three ) after it ! | | | |

I miss the air being thick with cigarette smoke and the loud roar that used to go up seconds before kickoff.
I remember the first time I stood in the Paddocks. To be within a few yards of the away fans (Newcastle I think) seemed amazing. |
Especially the roar of away fans taking the loft at ko time.London derbies weren’t all that great for us loft regulars.I remember the West Ham 6-1 Cup game and I started in the middle of the terrace but ended up getting pushed further and further away after every goal. |  | | |

Was it the pink Evening News that you could buy outside the ground after the match, that had the half-time scores kind of potato-stamped into a column on the back page? That was all the information you got until you got back to the car radio. Those were the days, kids. |

I think it was for fillery because it sounded like celery. | | | |

Didn't the Chelsea fans have some sort of silly song that went something like “ if your wife don't come, then tickle her on the bum with......celery, celery “ ? | | | |

Well, it wasn't actually our car, it was a neighbour who used to take us. But I'm pretty sure that by the time we got back to Wealdstone, we could buy a copy of the paper that had the full-time results in it. How on earth did that work? Or maybe we got the final edition delivered to the house by a paper-boy at around 7pm - I don't remember. Whatever, I definitely had a copy of the Saturday evening paper with the headline "QPR go up" when we finished second in Div 2 in 1968 - I had it on my bedroom wall for years. |  | | |

Sidling up to someone with a radio to overhear the scores. A rumour went round the North Bank at full time in our semi final that Leicester had beaten Spurs. People were dancing in celebration.
When I went to Brentford with school friends, you could still move to the other end at half time. |  | | |

They used to get the papers out to the shops amazingly quickly. Around 5.15 in the Bush. All the results plus reports from the first half of the matches with lots of typos. It helped that the 3 o'clock games ended earlier than they do today - just 10 minutes half time and very little stoppage time. Injury time as it was called then. Some games kicked of at 3.15 though so these would be marked late kickoff. | | | |
