    Yes I've seen this pic before too, its superb. It epitomises a lovely old northern football ground just after the war and what that club meant to the community, believe this was against Hull in 1949 in the FA Cup

    Season 64\65 would be my guess a poor season and what looks like a poor crowd
    No flat caps gives me another clue as well as how smartly dressed the fans are
    Looking at the goods yard and the power station reminds me how things have changed
    Come on @Bronco@Bronco let us know what year it was

    Interesting
    Could you post a photo of the cover
    I thought most games and even the league was cancelled due to the war
    I collect vintage programmes and have never seen that one
    Could be a gem

    Just a bit before my time going to the Valley, but love those old photos of the railway.
    Is that a Britannia steaming past?

    Two different dates for demolition. One says 1978 the other 1985. I'd go with the former. It also had a 300ft tower on site so I guess the photo was from the top of that not the cooling towers.
