I love this! Many similar postcards were produced from this game - I have one - because the photographer moved along each section of the home support and took a photo, telling the crowd which number it was so that they could subsequently go and buy one from his studio. This looks like section 18. Now, spot the... a) Ladies b) anybody without caps (I've found three) c) Soldiers (there's usually a couple) And if you're interested, it's still on sale on eBay (not mine, so nothing to be gained by me here ) eBay linkBoys always at the front.

Barely anyone wearing glasses. Either eyesight was a whole lot better than today or many couldn’t make out what was going on on the pitch! Eyesight was better...a lot less close up stuff. The eyes need to focus on distance a lot more regularly than people do now.

It always looks on the old films that the crowd moves as one, celebrates as one mass?? Everyone in grey or brown, everyone wearing headwear etc, control of the masses? Thank god for the tracksuit... A blue and white pinstripe three piece suit would look pretty awesome behind the goal though That would have drawn some serious attention and a prison sentence then🙄

It's like a terrace full of Colin Cromptons...
Nice pics though, clearly there's a hat hierarchy thing going on. Which reminds me of an article from a Punch magazine I found dated 1958, which had a cartoon on hats and your place in society. I have a copy of the page as a picture, but that would mean I'd have to work out how to upload a picture then...

Is it just me that thinks it looks like it's been photoshopped ? There's such a clear, crisp edge to everyone it looks like they've all been added, I'm not saying they have but that's what it looks like. For the record, 1922 was when Town beat PNE in the final (at Stamford Bridge), the BHA game was 2nd Rd away, 0-0, att 22,241, home replay 2-0, att 28,086. Thought the same, but pre photo shop. It looks like some of those boys on the front row have had heads from other photos physically cut out and pasted over the original print then it has been rephotographed. Maybe this hasn't happened but it looks like that, some head angles and sharpness of focus look at odds with the bodies they now belong to. Front row, if you count the lad with half head photographed far left as 'number one' then from left to right numbers 3,5,10,12 look a bit 'off' for a start. Weird. You don't see this effect on the photo that MT owns which is much more consistent and even in tone and sharpness over the whole print.

In the era just before the "Those were the days" song. If only they knew what the next three years were to bring..

And... Just for the sake of completeness, here's my own postcard. This one appears to be Pen #12. There are women here too... and sailors... and soldiers... But I don't think that there are any hatless folks. As you can tell, the photographer simply moved along the banner and got two chaps to hold either end of it. The Portsmouth bloke with the bell is in this. Prior to the tattoos.

Barely anyone wearing glasses. Either eyesight was a whole lot better than today or many couldn’t make out what was going on on the pitch! Pre NHS. corrective lens glasses were an unaffordable luxery for the masses. Reading glasses (with simple magnification lenses) were cheap and widely used. Of course, these would be worse than useless when watching football. No evidence at all for saying eyesight was better then. Almost certainly the reverse was true. Due to sight problems very rarely being corrected at an early age, progressive illnesses and damage caused by such would have been more common. (My daughter is an optometrist)

Brilliant photo, I wonder when smiling became popular in photos?! The young lads at the front seem happy enough so maybe it was their generation probably not smiling at the final whistle mind assuming it was the fa cup They were up against the best team in the world mind As soon as they put Fluoride in the water.

Just asked up on that one and the question she came back with for you was. "Should we restrict children in their reading as well then?" "We should certainly stop them reading rubbish like that." "In some ways screens are better for the eye than books because they automatically have enough light for comfort" BTW, she has worked in China (for a very short time, admittedly) and says if you actually believe that 86% of youth there is myopic then you must be the most gullible person on the planet.

Is this paper enough for you? In some areas of East Asia up to 95% of schoolkids are somewhat myopic. The main cure....spending time outdoors...have a little read. pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31873785/

Second from the right on the front row of the original pic is Ivar ‘you can’t kill me’ the Boneless. Settled in Yorkshire so in with the Albion fans to cause a bit of mischief.

Suffice to say:- You know f-all about the subject. You clearly have had too much screen time and it has made you figuratively myopic. But back in the real world. Myopia CANNOT be cured by "spending time outdoors". Semi-dangerous quackery. The end.

There is no douby this huge rise in myopia is caused by screen time and not going outdoors enough...what else could is be?

If you owned a hat shop back in those day's you would have made a fortune. I remember seeing one old photo at Millwall a railway line must have run at the back of the open end there were fan's sat up in the signals.
