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.

Having a turnstile that says "Boys - 1/-"
Having Herbie Ladd sitting behind shouting "Git stuck in" every 5 minutes to Chopper Jefferson
And at Hampden Park for the Home Internationals:
a 300 yard queue for the off licence next to the ground
Scotsmen standing on the street outside p1ssing in the gutters
Scotsmen on the terrace with a brown paper bag containing a half bottle of scotch and 2 huge bottles of Guinness |
As if Jefferson needed telling to get stuck in! |  | | |

Old adverts around the pitch. Radio Rentals, Visionhire (bit cheaper - rented a tv off them) and best of all, Churchmans tobacco adverts in front of Churchmans!
FA Cup Replays. I miss them. | | | |

One of the funniest was when the Harris pork pie company sponsored a game, I think in the late 80s. They were throwing mini pork pies to the crowd. Generous but mad. They loaded the crowd with ammo that came back at them and anyone in range. It wasn’t repeated. | | | |

Big centre half running out of the tunnel, jumping in the air and heading an imaginary football. |  | | |

Headbands. Thought of Steve Foster and his headband. Precursor to the Alice band. | | | |
