My first full season of watching City. Not a bad team that.

Probably been posted before but anyway ... a picture quiz:




How many players can you name? And the opposition? (Hint: 1980s)

 

[Oldsmobile-88]

Not seen that photo before.
Interesting how the focus has made the background in the distance closer.Photographers why is that ?
Old Tivvy Rd/Wrentham Estate seem a lot closer than they really are.The dome on the top of Stoke Hill Church is visible too.

Players..Peter Rogers(8) Martyn Rogers(2) Lee Rogers ? (5)

top thread just scrolled through from page 1 brought back many a memory watching city over the years.

Keep up the good work with the photos all!

Player furthest right whose number you can't see is John Delve. Four from that kind of of era might be Dick Forbes.

Am not a photographer, but I believe the effect is telephoto lens compression. (It makes the old bank look steeper than it really was, too)

In all the furore about people flouting Covid lockdown rules, photographers used the effect to make beachfronts and parks look more crowded than they really were, by foreshortening the view. It meant they were able to sell the photos to the Daily Mail etc. who lapped it up as they like to create outrage.

There are a few articles on it online. This one is quite good.

Looks like the visitors are playing in yellow or gold. Chipnickers possibly ?

No one wearing replica kit? Or too damp and cold to see under their jackets?
