What a superb article on the main site. http://www.ht-fc.com/halesowen-town-fir ... yeltz.html

I imagine it was a lot easier to move your car during the match to let the bus through......... :D

We thought the pitch was difficult at the moment........ at least we've got green grass now ;)

Harry Rudge looks exactly the same in this picture as he did in the 1990s.

Was this match also Les Randle's debut?

There's also a picture that I've seen in the past, maybe even from the Hendon match, of the ladies being helped in the tea shop by a teenage Dorothy Adlum, better known to us as the legend that is Dot Harold.

Does anyone have this one?

As a sprog I used to cycle from Grange Road in Old Hill to see Halesowen against the likes of Kiddie and Bromsgrove. At half-time a tall chap ( who I think was deaf and dumb ) and a short fella used to parade the half-time draw around the ground on a placard. Does anyone else remember these two ?

I think That's the pic of Dot I saw last week when I sorted those out that are now the official site, I mentioned it to Dot on Monday night and I'd forgotten her maiden name.
It'll be a few days before I can look for it.

Thanks for your quick response Lamper. As I get older I don`t know if my memory plays tricks on me. I once thought Villa had won the European Cup, imagine that !
