Tory MP Tom Hunt scathes an attack on Nicky Campbell over there being people on the BBC show who didn’t agree with the governments evil detention camp Bibby Stockholm
Most points in a season in our history now. Also, apparently, even if we lose the last four games (And one would hope we won't), it's now the fewest defeats in a season ever as well.
I'd have thought we were there or thereabouts on games won and goals scored as well.
Older heads will recall a movie being shot at Portman Road circa 1979 - Yesterday's Hero, with Ian McShane playing a star striker.
Someone's only gone and put it on YouTube!
Go to the 38 minute mark to see Portman Road in all it's seventies glory. See the bored supporters in the West Stand! Gawp at the half hearted pretend goal celebrations! Get confused as the camera is in the Cobbold Stand and everything is back to front!
Calling all my ðŸ”µâšªï¸ friends from Suffolk, I’ve found this signed print of Portman Rd during an office move and want it to go to a good home!! The 4 corner books are not part of the offer!! Quiz question - name the two NCFC players who scored OG’s at Portman Rd in the 90’s? #ITFCpic.twitter.com/gUjVz7IVnx
Mention of the 62 Charity Shield match elsewhere reminded me of this, again versus Spurs at Portman Road, but with an even more bizarre camera angle. It's in the North West corner for some reason. Which is fine when there are corners etc at Churchmans, but for everything else, especially when the play is at the North Stand end, it looks very peculiar on TV. Its the third game on here so you'll have to spin forward towards the end. Contains probably only surviving film record of a goal by Charlie Woods.
Wonder why this was? In 62 footage it's the traditional camera level with the half way line. The only other late sixties footage I think I've ever seen is the McGarry 68 D2 Championship team v Birmingham, and that was in the usual spot as well (albeit obviously lower than today). But this odd.
As an aside, I've heard it said that the TV companies in later years loved to come to Portman Road, as it was near enough one of the only top flight grounds that enabled them to get that overhead behind the goal shot, as they would use a camera on a crane parked behind Churchmans. Most other grounds either had stands that were too tall, or were too hemmed in by streets.
#ncfc fans not had anything to shout about yet. Charlton now replaying highlights of the game from 2009 that sent the Canaries down to League One on the big screen. Fun times. pic.twitter.com/7ce445FLCP
