Half time entertainment.

Although the band only took over at about 2.15pm. Prior to that there was the tannoy - and I think always more or less the same records in the same order. So I would generally ascend the double decker to the background of 'Smile' by Frank Sinatra.

Other bands I think included the Salvation Army Band at Christmas. As you will recall we actually played matches on Christmas Day itself.....morning kick off of course so people could get back home for their Christmas Dinner and
I well remember walking the 5 miles or so to the ground before we all had access to cars only to find the match called off due to frost. And I don't think that they had the convoy of Corporation Buses from Humberstone Gate to the ground on Christmas Day.

And it was all fields round here, and you could leave your front door open all the time.......zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
