From the gazette, look at the crowdView attachment 27236

Not like the Gazette to get it wrong is it . On that day we were away at Derby , not at home . That photo was taken the week before at home against Hull City , we won 2-0 , and the crowd was in the region of 17,000

I was only three years old when Hughes broke Osgoods leg but my Dad was there and always said the tackle was that hard you could probably hear Osgoods leg breaking down Central Drive!!!

My dad told me that it could be heard all around the ground.

Can anyone tell me whether the man in the suit and tie was the manager? If so, would it be Sydney Beaumont who , my Calley states, resigned in the Spring of 1929, (when we were in the bottom three of Div 2), or Harry Evans who took over as honorary manager until Sandy McFarlane took over in 1933?

The picture is apparently from February, so it's probably Mr. Beaumont (any relation to big Bill I wonder?) and nowadays he'd be getting all sorts of abuse on here. We should be beating teams like Nelson!

Seen all over West Lancashire, these Fodens were always immaculate. I think the take over by Kingston Minerals may have been the end for the fleet. Photo is in their yard.A Peter J Davies pic.

If the club made replicas of this shirt they’d make a killing

If the Club had a Kop End that good, we’d never fill it !

We very rarely did
