Things no longer seen in football grounds 08:03 - May 26 with 7570 viewsChurchman

Toilet rolls chucked in the goal - far too valuable
Rattles
Rosettes
Smoking
Blue mobility vehicles around the pitch
St John Ambulance stretcher bearers - in ITFCs case, one a lot bigger than the other.
The bucket and sponge
The sheepskin coated manager
Letters for half time scores.

Any others?

Ah, the good ole days.

It's a toss up between this and that hotpant wearing sales ladies for what made me laugh the most but I have to say that's tremendously droll.

I'll add players giving it the let's get on it celebrations, think Merson and his on the beers celebration or Robbie Fowler snorting the touch line

Not seen, but getting to the ground at 1.30 to make sure you got a good position in the North Stand

Went to watch Leiston the other day and they were still selling rattles in their club shop so I bought one - would it be welcomed to town away games next year if I were to bring it?

Milk crates for the kids to stand on.

Edit. Beaten to it.

The crane behind Churchmans - you knew then that the game would be first on Match of the Day.

Terraces with crush barriers that you were never quite sure whether to stand in front of and potentially get crushed by it or behind it and potentially getting crushed by people pushing you into it.

Steam coming off the crowd on a particularly cold day (Churchmans around 1980 fondly remembered when we played West Brom around Christmas time).

Sweeping the snow from the pitch lines and cracking on.

Marcus Stewart’s gloves.

Instead of ‘inflatable day’ which our fans do once a season, it should definitely be replaced with toilet roll.

Everyone slinging toilet roll as the players come out and when we score.

Scrolling down is a pic of Swede Herring, bus conductor and Ipswich Cheerleader. Handmade banners and a hand bell. A bit before my time, thank goodness, but brilliant all the same.
