I wonder if opposition fans used to banter us about ‘empty chairs’ back in 1947

I have an old framed Oxo advert from 1904 that states that the winners of the 'English Cup' trained on Oxo during the whole season. There is quote from a letter from manager and secretary Thos E Maley.
Its the only thing i have. FIl bought it in a junk shop some years ago.

No. It wasn't in the rules then that our ground had to be full every game.
That rule was brought in when we started winning things.

George Hicks 1926 FA Cup Final match worn shirt....26th April 1926.......Just the 95 years old !! City adopted the darker blue, known as cornflower blue for the final. Unfortunately the shirts badge has been carefully removed at some stage. Outside left Hicks would play a staring role in City’s route to the Final, scoring six times but was unable to prevent the Blues going down 1-0 to Bolton at Wembley stadium.

As an 8 yr oId I dug a clod of turf out at St James Park in 1968. I replanted it in my Mums garden. It has now spread over the whole garden and can be seen from the Road just off Viccy ave Blackley.
A 48 yr old bit of turf.

Allegedly a piece of Maine Road turnstile with markings on it from WT Ellison.
I did ask Gary James about it on here and apparently those pieces could have been from a turnstile anywhere in those times. Theres no doubting the age and the makers mark but whether its from Blackpool funfair or a swimming baths, who knows?
