I love these sorts of pictures. Just to look into the eyes of people on there & wonder what happened to them the rest of their lives. Absolutely brilliant. Its really amazing. They all live full lives in a completely different world. Another thing that gets me is every single person you are looking at is dead now.

Do we know where this was taken? From the order of teams on the sign it looks like an away game for Town? Is it Brighton or West Brom?
Don’t worry seen the above post. Looks very ‘Northern’ to be Brighton doesn’t it?

No virus scares in them days. Apart from the one 3/4 years previously that killed 50 million people .

No virus scares in them days. I suspect that the effects of the first world war and the 1918 flu pandemic that killed far more than Covid-19 (50 million?) was still very much in their minds, however folk were probably a bit more plegmatic in those days. Beaten to it by sapphireblue.

No virus scares in them days. The Great War or WW 1 lasted 4 years from 1914/18 with 40M casualties worldwide, approx half of these, 20M, were fatalities. Spanish Flu started in 1918 and in two years 500M or a third of the world's population became infected with approx 50M fatalities. Addition In the space of 6 years the war and flu claimed 70M lives early, the vast majority were men, one of the incredible facts is that then in the following years the birth rate of boys to girls, normally roughly 50/50 ( actually 105/100 ) increased till the "shortage" of boys caught up, just in time for the next big cull in 1939/45.

I know it's so sad. I was watching some footage on you tube of Halifax in the early 19th century. Teeming with people, grandmas, mums dads, little kids, babes in arms. Every single person you see grinning at the camera is no longer with us. Make the most of your life, you are dead a bloody long time.

Those were the days. Imagine if someone lit up a cig in the stands now. Probably abandon the match.

No virus scares in them days. Lots of restrictions were in place for Spanish flue. They did what they could without the understanding of the virus the modern era, plus millions died. But keep posting your ignorance.

I know playing devil’s advocate.
