:wink:

103

God! those photos have made me cry!!! To see the old ground destroyed breaks my heart, haven’t seen them before.
WHS

104

Yes not the shots I wanted to see either, however we are where we are and WP is growing onme as we develop history and legends anew here.

105

I’ll put some nicer ones up next!!!

106

Northwich town centre needs a football ground again desperately :frowning:

107

Yes wish we could pick wincham park up and dump it on top of sainsburys! Perfect!

108

Not sure where I got this from - probably ripped it off from someone (Apologies!) - Are you on the Pic?

109

And what about these rascals?..

110

Ah! dear old Vinny!

Don’t recognize those slender young men alongside him though…

111

Great pictures. Keep them coming!

112

A quick walk through town and I am sure if the shops were moved around a bit there would be plenty of empty shops for us to build a football ground!!! We could start on the Freemason’s Lodge and car park and work from there. Wonderful pictures, it would be nice to see that many youngsters behind the goal this coming season.
WHS.

OMG!! :ohmy:

Is this my 5 minutes of fame???

That’s ME, leaning against the wall, third from right (next to the taller kid with the striped bobble hat looking over my head).

I must have been about 8 or 9!!!

Where did THIS photograph come from???

Not sure what I’m clutching in my hands. And I’ve still got those slightly “Spock” ears!!! :laugh:

Thank you so much econneely - you’ve brought back SO many happy memories with that pic! B)

114

Under the umbrella - Ken Dodd,Coiln Cooper and Sid Burrows. Far right with flat cap Fred Hornby.

Quite a few " hoodies " in those days as well !

115

Does anyone know when the black and white pic was taken roughly?

116

Going by the clothes etc I would say it is the late 50’s or early 60’s.
WHS

117

I would put it a bit later than that. Mid to Late 60s. Probably in the Ken Barnes era.

118

I showed the pic to my mum (mums know best!) and she reckons that I was about 10 years old. Therefore it must have been taken in 1966 or thereabouts.

Definitely the Ken Barnes era!

Decent crowd though - I’ve been trying to think back to the games when the CG was so heavily populated. We always seemed to get the best crowds for V*cs, Altrincham and Runcorn.

119

That’s Sprucie 6th from the right & perhaps MONA first right.
