Thought it more appropriate to continue in here... 1/ Does anyone still have a "We'll be back in 81" Tee shirt stashed away somewhere? Surely not? 🤷♂️ 2/ I really miss mine! I so wish I'd saved it for posterity... (Dare I say more so than any specific actual replica shirt I still have)...as low quality as they were... and as factually incorrect as they proved to be! 🤣 3/ Pretty certain mine was yellow. Were they all the same, or was there options for different colours? I honestly don't remember. 4/ I presume they were "unofficial merch"? I'd guess they weren't stocked in The Ramtique? Honestly don't recall where I got mine from! 🤷♂️ Someone must have made a killing, as they were damn popular, albeit short-lived! 4/ Also pretty certain they came out before the season's end (but already confirmed as relegated, obvs). I'm damn sure I was wearing mine as we clambered up the vandal-greased cages into the rafters at Carrow Road, to hail our failed heroes long after the final whistle (until they sent in the dogs to clear us all out!). #differentera! #buthappytimesthough,yeah? Memories, anyone? 🐏 I had the white we’ll be back in 81 shirt and I did get it from the ramtique that was then across from the Neptune, I seem to remember you coming out of the sex shop next to the ramtique as I was going into the ramtique 😀 uttoxram75 and Mucker1884 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great work sir... as always! 🍻 Ooh... just realised... I'm still convinced mine said "We'll be back in '81"?

I had just turned 15 when the 80/81 season started (when the we’ll be back tee shirts came out) If memory serves me right you were returning your “girlfriend” back to the sex shop as you’d punctured her whilst giving her a love bite Mucker1884 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

8Leeds Posted February 25 Share Posted February 25 I only got to visit the baseball ground once. It was a midweek reserve match against Man U. Think it was around 97/98. Got to see Ole Gunnar Solskjaer rip us to bits, think he scored 4. Wish I had seen the place packed to the rafters and felt the atmosphere. It definitely had character, loved the corrugated iron and the old school advertising boards. Really liked how it was buried away amongst terrace houses.

Richard Dastard Lee Posted March 30 Share Posted March 30 It would be interesting to know the date of the black and white aerial shot, the Osmaston and Normanton end's look to be single storey, there's curved terracing at the Osmaston end to pop side corner and no flood lights. 1930's at a guess.

Look again. They're way higher than the main stand and Popside roof. You could still be right about the date though as both double-decker stands were in place from 1935 onwards. Floodlights didn't arrive until 1953. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Dastard Lee Posted April 3 Share Posted April 3 Yes my mistake, the Osmaston End stand was bombed in January 1941 and doesn't appear to be damaged in the photo so that would appear to date it between 1935 and 1941. Crewton 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
