As already said 1968/69 as the wooden fencing in front of the crane was only put up once construction started on the new stand (as it was then!)before that it was concrete slat type wall all down that side. Am I sad or what?

I would go with 68, the new floodlights are erected which was 62 and the work being carried out looks like the preparation for the Arthur Wait.

I reckon it's taken either at a reserve game or a bit after the Blackpool game on 28.12.68 was abandoned. John Jackson in goal and it looks like Jack Taylor was the referee.

Just came across this on a Russian football site - apparently it's Selhurst! Anyone recognise the picture and have any idea when it was taken ? Probably taken in mid Sixties. Yes that is the Whitehorse End before Sainsbury arrived and that green hill was a bugger in Winter when, after heavy rain, fans would slide down it on many occasions. Not so much H&S in those days but plenty of wet arses.
