You got me thinking there Reg, so i went through my various home programmes throughout the sixties and finally found this in the 69-70 programmes, the first home one has Stan Harland and the signature looks like Mickey Durling, Don Heath is the next programme and again it's got Mickey's signature on it.
 Certainly doesn't sound much like Les Paul. Maybe the fella I'm thinking of used to do stuff for the Pink then. Got it....Bill Paul, used to do cartoons in the Pink. |

Nah. Didn't advertise. Surprisingly of the pubs, the Eagle in Regent Street has gone, as has seemingly the White Hart in Newport Street, along with the White House but the CGH, the Crown, whose landlord was on the Board, the White Hart, Wroughton and the Southbrook are still going.
Aarhus the White House....anybody remember the White House kick up v Bmuff?! |

Great thread, nothing to add. Though my first thoughts were how come we're fielding a team with loads of players i havent heard of, yet Wimbledon seem to be playing a near first team.
Programme wise i bought a load of old Town programmes at some kind of jumble sale in Cirencester a few years ago. Love them, great to read the adverts about the new houses for sale in Greenmeadow. Or why not use the new M4 motorway for our trip to West London next week. Not to mention the football side of things.

What really let down this rather elaborate hoax is the name Gerard Strain - it has to be made up  |

My guess Is its a guide for the photographer to frame the shot, and these photo's are actually the pre shots, and the arrow guy was edited out for the release photo's maybe

I think it was something to do with Ordnance Survey mapping and was in an article in Swindon Heritage magazine. |

Not for reserve games which this supposedly was.* *It wasn't because it's a fake - but if had been a reserve game it would have been 1-11. He got that bit right. |

I suspect it was recording a datum point, much like a bench mark. |
