Not sure what it is but taken from the boys pen. I remember that view well.

Black Lace concert finale. The Kop doing the conga. It's part of a set, you should see them all pushing pineapples.

I remember the boys pen being higher up tucked up in the corner. This looks more like a view from the Kop/ Main Stand junction.

I'm pretty intrigued now. Not sure why there would be a queue inside the ground for match tickets. Certainly looks 30's early 40's. Some sort of volunteer enlistment drive? Dunno. I'm drunk from the game. Oh I got it, it's the 1936 overcoat and pipe parade.

There would be more litter after a game. It's a queue for cup tickets, I'd say early to mid Fifties judging by the number of hats

I was thinking along those lines, enlisting for the Forces maybe?

Hats. Everyone wore a hat before the war. I'm increasingly whacked on wine and can't hold the glass and type onmy phone, but I know I'm right.

Plus the fact they don't look too chuffed to be there...

Looks like a big puddle infront of the goal, don't think there's just been a match.

Mother.F · « **Reply #19 on:** January 28, 2012, 09:57:21 pm »

I've no idea, but I hope that it's the Kop emptying (in a very orderly fashion) post match, because I'm flicking my nipples to the fact that there's a broad in the front, representing the ladies, 40's style.

Hats are what used to be hoodies but weren't attached to the upper body garment right..?

Blood donors queue.

They prefer red blood. No Royals of course.

We used to have a 'hug a hat' campaign them days well before Cameron used the idea.

It's all the parents waiting to pick their kids up from the boys pen...

SportBilly · « **Reply #27 on:** January 28, 2012, 10:16:45 pm »

Have they all come to install a new gas cooker?

meady1981 · « **Reply #28 on:** January 28, 2012, 10:20:17 pm »

I've decided its just a queue to look at that one bit of wonky fence.

Mate, as a kid I queued for tickets in Anfield. If my memory serves me well they used to open the gates to let you into the ground and you bought your ticket at the turnstile on the way out, maybe it stopped queueing in the streets around the ground. I've got to admit I also remember queueing along Anfield Road and down Arkles Lane as well.
