Today,as part of the 150 year celebrations,Sheffieild F.C. will play Hallam F.C at The BT Business Stadium, Dronfield.

 

Those amongst you who have read my articles will be aware that this fixture is the oldest local soccer derby still being played.The two teams are the oldest playing Association Football(Notts being a Football League side)

 

The kick off for this match is 6PM and is attracting quite a bit of attention.

 

However at 1PM there will be a game between the two clubs veterans played in the style of football at the time of the first fixture ,with spectators being encouraged to dress as in that period.

thanks for the info super.

You're welcome,Liam.I'd have liked to have seen the veterans game just to see how football has changed.

You wouldn't have been out of place with the veterans,Super.

I bet @super_ram can remember kicking a pigs bladder round the street when he was a lad.

I remember the lace up leather balls.They were like cannonballs when they got wet.Football boots were a lot heavier,too.

supers published his latest article on the footballing history, i have read it but i have not spent the time i feel it deserves. go read it

I know Super spends a lot of time with these articles and he keeps asking me for my opinion.He's been really chuffed with the replies though.

That is an awesome article @super_ram it's amazing you can remember all those things from when you were a lad.

 

Sorry I'm being frivolous again, it's a great article mate well done.

Cheers,Tony.My memory actually goes back to the about 1953.I can remember the coronation quite clearly(I was 6 at the time) but I sometimes can't remember what I did yesterday.I don't know about you but football seems to have been around forever and 125 years(Football League) is a relative long time, yet our great grandfathers probably witnessed the early years.,

You're giving your age away there, good job my maths is rubbish.

You're lucky I can't remember what happened yesterday, the day before, last week, last year or 10 years ago. In fact who am I? What am I doing here?

Its another interesting read... I wonder how many more things you have to talk about. All the articles upto now have been interesting to read and look back on when you've added more.

Thanks for all the nice comments.It makes the effort worth while and gives me a real glow to know it's appreciated

You're usually trying to wind me up-now hurry up and have your cocoa,it's way past your bed time.

@super_ram's back with 150 Years of Football series, part 6 is here for your pleasure.

Very feature rich and the detail is outstanding, I'm very thankful to my father for taking the time to read it and write for us. Please do take time to read it, even if you break it up (as it's quite long).

We could have done with Steve tonight!

I expected a comment from a certain someone asking if Super ever saw him play.

Excellent Series,

 

Took away about an hour and sat to read it all. Is this the last in the series?

 

Well done Ram

Thanks @Canadian.I'm glad you enjoyed reading my efforts.No, it's not the last.The next one is in the pipeline and I intend to come right up to date eventually,so I will be inflicting many more articles on our members.

I did start to read the article but got distracted when visitors arrived I will lock myself in a room to make sure I'm not disturbed.

@super_ram's got a fantastic memory to be able to recall these things from when he was a lad.

Granny was right then @tonyhateley!
