Fantastic. Sadly not there. Do you have any other pics from those 'big three' games?Phil Boyer scoring the first goal in the 3-0 win. Just over 20,000 in the ground. I'm always amazed how many fans wore a collar and tie to the match in those days.

From time to time I look back through my autographed scrap books. Will try and look some out Rob.Fantastic. Sadly not there. Do you have any other pics from those 'big three' games?
That is quite an interesting observation ( the shirt and tie thing ).Phil Boyer scoring the first goal in the 3-0 win. Just over 20,000 in the ground. I'm always amazed how many fans wore a collar and tie to the match in those days.

The tie thing was probably because many of the fans had come to Dean Court straight from work and then lunch somewhere near..no time to get a change of clothes at home - people worked on most Saturday mornings.
The complete lack of flasks and umbrellas will probably be quite disconcerting to them They'll probably presume that they hadn't been invented yet !I wonder what we're all doing now that will seem strange to folk in 50 years time.
They’ll probably think how quaint it was that we were all still actually sitting in the stadium, rather than watching at home on our VR headsets.I wonder what we're all doing now that will seem strange to folk in 50 years time.

Correct about the ties. Sad when one looks that the scruffy toilet types we see waddling the streets these days with their silly peaked cap worn back to front, beer gut sticking out, paint splattered trakkie bottoms with trainers with holes in the toes.

That’s rich. From some one who wonders around Swindon in his tatty old Mothercare security guard uniform.Talking about the way people used to dress for matches. I recall the John Benson era when one would spot the typical main stand supporter dressed Rupert the bear checked trousers, Jesus sandals, a silly polar necked sweater with Timothy White sun cream splattered over a balding head with an early edition of the Bournemouth Echo under ones arm. The chant would be "come on Bournemouth" every 20 minutes.
They did !Did they ?
There was clearly real money to be made in the flat cap business back then.Funny how times change in 50 years. I expect the people in that photo would say exactly the same thing when they looked at a photo from 50 years previous too.

Time and a half. Doing overtime then.They did !
Just look at amount of the people in ties in the crowds...and it's evident.
In 66 I worked in a factory on Wallisdown Road..McDonagh Kitchens...and would leave at 1300 on Saturdays ( time and a half pay) . .and straight on to a yellow bus parked opposite Mountbatten Pub...which took me to Dean Court.
The Nation f√cking well worked in those days. . Ok there were a few strikes here and there but look at the mofo sh*t we are in now....
He probably went for the tuppence fix. MUMHave you ever been on TV, Mr. R&R ?
The UK weren't the inequality kings like we are now.They did !
