EDITORS COMMENTS
great photograph capturing a moment in time at Stamford Bridge, the historic home of Chelsea Football Club in London. The date is August 16th, 1980, and the scene is the East Stand concourse, where grounds staff are hard at work preparing for the upcoming football match against Wrexham. The image transports us back to an era when football was more about the love of the game than the commercialization that dominates the sport today. The groundsmen, dressed in their green and yellow uniforms, are seen meticulously working on the concourse, ensuring that every detail is perfect for the fans. They are focused on their tasks, from sweeping the floor to fixing small damages, all with a sense of pride and dedication. The atmosphere is calm and orderly, a stark contrast to the excitement and chaos that will soon engulf the stadium when the fans arrive and the match begins. The photograph also offers a glimpse into the past, with the East Stand concourse looking noticeably different from its current state. The brick walls, worn with age, and the lack of modern amenities add to the nostalgic feel. The image is a reminder of the simple pleasures of football, when the joy of watching a live match was the main attraction. Overall, this photograph by Hugh Hastings is a beautiful snapshot of a bygone era in football history. It invites us to appreciate the hard work and dedication of the grounds staff and to remember the unique charm of Stamford Bridge in the 1980s.
