Did Wycombe really get gates of 10,000 in the ‘fifties? I was a supporter of Maidstone United in those days and I would say that the average attendance at the Athletic ground was around 2,500 to 3,000.
Flared trousers & bicycle clips? (think about it)
Dietary fibre didn’t exist in the 1950s. Bananas were still a post-war rarity, broccoli was considered filthy fancy french rubbish and all bread was as white as the driven snow. People would go weeks without a poo.
From one home game until the next perhaps? Think of the outcome (as it were) of all that jumping up and down as Bodger scores his umpteenth goal following a sedentary fortnight.
I’ll level with you all - whether you like it or not. In my 40 years of attending football matches, i have never used ‘the trap’.
I have to agree. In 60 years of attending football matches (and on occasions with a certain amount of liquid intake beforehand) I’ve never felt the need to sit down as it were.
I just assume at these large newer grounds they provide loads of cubicles for those who prefer cocaine to a decent pint.

7000 cheek clenching spectators for a Fa Cup 1st qualifying rnd (4 ties away from FL clubs entering) v Windsor&Eton in 1951.
An indication of the Wanderers following in those days.
Well there was no TwitFace or TikGram for folks to while away the hours…
