Club History Remember when?

[ScrappyCoCo]

Alcoa cash a can Sunday morning. Hot tip was to crush the cans with a rock inside for bonus weight

Fishing sinkers were better, until dad found out. And yeah my parents made us grab cans after the game for Alcoa cash for cans.

Remember when you hovvered over the fence waiting for the second siren so you could bolt to hit the centre circle first?

Then they fenced off the square, being first to the square rope didn't have quite the allure...

Now set foot on the ground and you owe 3k

Remember when you would wonder what would happen to the clock if a quarter went for longer than 35 minutes? Would it stop? Would it keep going even though there were no numbers? Would they just blow the siren once it got to 35 minutes because they had no other way of keeping the time??

When they still sold beer in steel cans. Dad would
drink two as soon as they got there so mum could stand on them to see.

I'm impressed by this but also a bit puzzled.

I appreciate that steel beer cans are going to be much stronger than the flimsy numbers of today, but I'm still surprised that two empty steel cans can support the weight of an adult!

They didn't * about back then. And mum was about 50 kilos dripping wet.

Jumping over the fence when a goal was kicked, simultaneously signalling the goal with the Goal umpire
