Trilby wearing elderly blokes* smoking pipes.
*To my regret, I now fall into the elderly category. But I don't wear a hat and haven't smoked tobacco for many years.

Linesmen operating on the left wing touchline, can be seen on some of the Throwback Thursday videos.

I do recall that when the first scoreboard was erected at the BE, the boards were replaced by ceefax. Page 319 from memory.
It was the future. Sadly MT chewed the remote so we got stuck on bamboozle

Wagon wheels, rosettes and people chucking toilet rolls at the away keeper …. Ah the good old days 😉 It would then turn nasty with, instead of toilet rolls, wagon wheels being thrown at the goalkeeper: The New Christy Minstrels* would be playing on the PA. * - IYKYK |

No toilet anywhere in Hereford to take a dump on match day unless to came with your own toilet paper in your pocket. Then they thought scrap the rolls let’s go up market and have small boxes of sheets of paper. Nobody rich enough to be able to use a pound note.

Supporters forced to stand behind high fences on the terraces, being marched straight from the station to the ground at away games so you couldn't have a pre match pint, the police treating every football fan as a hooligan.
The old days weren't always better.

Yeah, but you couild throw those boxes further than the rolls. A pound note, those days, would get you ten pints of Gaymers in the Lich and a 10 packet of No.6. Not being a smoker, nowadays, I don't know how much the cigarettes would cost, but the squeal would probably require a £50 note. |

Those "trilby wearing old blokes smoking pipes", seen regularly in WL's Old Programmes column in Bulls News, were actually only in their mid twenties. Those were hard times; in those days, we'd a' been glad to have the price of a cup o' tea: a cup o' cold tea: without milk or sugar: or tea! In a filthy, cracked cup. |

You're right, I was trying to sound posh. We never used to have a cup; we used to have to drink out of a rolled up newspaper |

being marched straight from the station to the ground at away games Remember that, as an exile I would watch away games in the home end - silently, did this with England once as well. Otherwise I could have been deported to Hereford afterwards which would have been expensive. Neutral games were a bit awkward too. "rolled up newspaper" Millwall brick? One memory from the days of the massed ranks of coppers in the Meadow End was the Football League review insert in the programme. Another one was games finishing at 4:40, so listening to the Sports Report theme going up Dinmore Hill on the bus which went to Ludlow in those days. |

Not to mention running (at 4.40) to Wallis's on Sunbeam Corner to catch the rolling scores on BBC.
Which did not include the Lillywhites in the Southern League.
A further journey to join the queue for the away result at the newsagents on Whitecross Road for the Green 'un.
(Before the newsagent was known as Forbuoys.)

My dad used to send me to get one on Burtons Corner. I can't remember if it was green or pink, though, although it was probably green.
However, I do remember the 'mid-week' Hereford Times being printed on green newsprint.
Lord knows why they did that.

I would love to sit in a pub and smoke a pipe whilst reading the Green 'Un.
Some generations had it all, didn't they?
