    A number of recent posts about chanting/music/half-time entertainment and catering

    What were the chants or songs sung in the olden days 1960's 1970's ?
    - was there half-time entertainment.

    Was any food sold or was it just tea or Bovril.

    Oh and half time entertainment was watching a bloke put plates with numbers on below letters of the alphabet and matching them to the programme to work out the half time scores.
    I kid you not. :)

    I rember my dad sitting me on the crush barriers and not being able to get down again. Very effective child control devices.

    Aye aye aye aye
    (Our keeper) is better than Yashin
    (Our goal scorer) is better than Eusebio (pronounced You Say Bee Oh)
    And (team we are playing) are in for a thrashing

    Regular song from the sixties including the Russian keeper and the Portuguese maestro

    Smell of Woodbines everywhere, especially the Brewery stand.
    I think I did more passive smoking at Oakwell than anywhere else in my life.

    It were worse on 't Yorkshire Tracky buses. We used to get the no 23 from The Collingwood in Bolton to Barnsley bus station, you needed an oxygen tent by the time you got off.
