At the time I think it was only Charlton that had a larger bank of terracing.

I'm sure that game was against Spurs.

I think the aerial pic of NP was the Arsenal game played on 22 April 1953, att 57,893, a club record.

The "old" Bob Bank was roofed around 1957/8, i believe.

Cigarette advertisers must have a been a nightmare as you can only see the product if you are in an airoplane ,parachute or Zeppelin,pretty much paralleled to the health and safety cigarette laws enforced these days :ayatollah: :ayatollah: .

Apparently they run train specials to the home games :old:
