    So many men wearing collar and tie to the match. Hardly any women to be seen in the crowd. Changed days.

    Also the first ever "ooh matron".

    Anyone in their seventies now would be sitting by the side of the pitch, as they were allowed to back then.

    Without question people in general dressed more smartly way back in the 1950's. Practically every man in this photograph is wearing a collar and tie - to a football match!! this is unimaginable in this day and age - where Tshirts and jeans is the norm for the majority. Whilst I'm at it, even theatre goers today look scruffy compared to those frequenters of the mid 20th century. Whatever happened to the bulk of men and ladies wearing stylish hats?
    I'm a sprightly 59 year old, who can remember well-dressed uncles and aunts; a time when every one made an effort.
    The nearest we get to smart dressed women today are the young women who work in Armstrongs Vintage clothes shops - one or two of them look fabulous in their vintage dresses and hairdo's.
    Okay, enough of my nostalgic moans.

    I wouldn't say that people don't dress smart today, it's just a different trend now. You can look smart without wearing your granda's auld hat.

    And the hooligan on his left looks to be a right rebel.

    On what is considered smart, I wonder who decided tying a thin piece of material around your neck was smart? Its a bit strange if you think about it.

    The crowds were much bigger then due to the lack of chubbies, more people could fit in the stadium.
