I went to a Birmingham away game and one of the strikers was dropped, so went along and sat with the away fans. Think we lost 2-1 though.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3htEY3IXmEc Birmingham 1-2 Reading, 95/96
I remember this, it was a Friday night game IIRC.floyd__streete wrote: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s7x0EUSOuls Halley's comet
That's great isn't it. Duckworth was renowned for his bravery and you can see why - keepers got no protection at all! As far as I know it's the earliest match footage from Elm Park, though there is a film around of a military sports day from the First World War.strap wrote:Alan Sedunary has just passed me this gem of a link, with the question "How many would have been sent off in the final goalmouth scramble?" Hopefully he won't mind me sharing it with a wider audience.
Joe Duckworth certainly earned his corn that day!
23,703 at a snowbound Elm Park on 16th Feb 1929. We were 17th in the 2nd tier at the time,
No idea if this is the earliest newsreel from EP, but quality is excellent for the day, so would have been a "professional" recording.

Some bizarre action going on, but interesting to see the ground as it was then http://www.britishpathe.com/video/novel ... query/1915The Cube wrote:Footage from that Villa game was on Pathe News so they would be the film-makers (they only broadcast 45 seconds, though). Reading's other known appearances on Pathe News were the 1927 FA Cup semi-final and a 1935 game, so this is the oldest football footage I know of from Elm Park.
However, there is footage of a fund-raising sports day at Elm Park held during World War 1. Someone posted a link to it a few years ago, but I didn't make a note of the link at the time, and haven't been able to track it down since.
No substitutes either, so the incentive was there.Biscuit_Boy wrote:That's great isn't it.
