[quote user="Herman "]A bit Cholmondley-Warner football footage that, but interesting, even though i couldn''t figure out who is who[:)][/quote]I thought at first it was the Nest, but it looks more like Filbert Street - both have houses at right angles to the pitchif it is Filbert Street then it is a City goal as the spectators in the back ground don''t seem to be reacting to the goalthe footage also seems to be reversed as the sign to the right of the players as they run out is in reverseand looks to read -Free sessions Daily BOULEVA   (Boulevard ?)

ps no concern about knocking the keeper for a six ! (5m.43sec)

That tram is going down Dereham Rd, St Andrews, Bank Plain and then turning into Prince of Wales Rd. You can recognise the Agricultural Hall (which is now Anglia TV) and the Old GPO, also now part of Anglia TV I think.

And No, the little boy standing in the road on the left isn''t me, or even my dad, although it could have been my uncle Eddie.[;)]Great pic''s C1.[Y]

The next bit with all the cavalry is looking up Upper King St from P.of Wales Rd.Also there is a bit with I presume King Edward 7th at the old tram terminus at Orford Place.

Towards the end we have the funeral of Edith Cavell and the unvieling of the First World War memorial at the Guildhall.How did I do?

that''s what I thought,until I did a bit of checking

I even found more footage clickand if you compare what is supposedly Rosary Road with the two pictures, you will see the Leicester pic has the same chimneys that are missing from the Nest pic stop frame at .5.42

19081909

I didn''t know they recorded football that early. Although it makes sense since most early filmmaking was predominantly ''documentary''.

Loved the footage C1.

Is there anything in ''left'' handshakes, before the game, between the ref and captains, or is the film back to front?

Also that''s how fans used to march to the ground (5.48), much more organized, and easier for the police to keep an eye on the ruffians and herberts!

Fantastic footage. Although I believe some of our fan would love football to be like this again with Charles-Charlie-Charles bombing down the wing and a half time show of a man boxing a kangaroo which worries me slightly haha

Looking on SUTRE this would appear to be the replay after the first game was abandoned at 0-0 due to snow.The first meeting between the two clubs took place on the 11th of

January 1913 in a First Round FA Cup tie - but the game didn''t reach

it''s finish. Starting in poor conditions, there was a dreadful snow

storm on 65 minutes. The score was still 0-0 and the referee abandoned

the game. On the 16th, the Canaries returned. Despite still being a

Southern League side in those days, they thrashed their Second Division

opponents 4-1, goals coming from Arthur Woodlands, Sam Wolstenholme,

Alfred Osborne and William Hughes. It was one of a number of cup shocks

that Norwich City handed out before the Great War.

it is reversed as stated abovethe game was also played on a Thursday, as were a number of other replays ....... but this was not a replay so I would suggest that the original Saturday fixture was postponed because of the weather, and Thursday may well have been early closing day in Leicester, it was in Norwich (I believe) - attendance 8600crabby - you''ll notice (6.05) that fans were a bit more ''tooled up'' for away games, in fact Arsenal fans were known as the gunners for their prestigious use of artillery pieces in running battles with other fans

Before the start of the match, the team captains met in the centre of

the pitch and tossed a coin to decide ends. Play was hampered by snow,

but the inclement weather did not stop Norwich from emerging with a 4-0

victory against Leicester. Goals were scored by Osbourne, Hughes,

Woodlands and Wolstenhulme. Norwich’s success did not last long,

however. The team were knocked out of the F.A. Cup in the next round,

with the Bristol Rovers beating them after a second reply. - See more

Have to presume the team would have travelled there by train - doubt they would have used a charabanc.......... and the kick off would have been 2pm as there were no floodlights thencan''t think that there would have been any City supporters who travelled there eitherit has to be wondered if any of those players were to be killed in the upcoming warone City goalscorer was Sam Wolstenholme, who -After retiring as a player in 1913, Wolstenholme accepted a coaching position in Germany. In the spring of 1914, he was appointed by the Norddeutscher Fußball-Verband (North German Football Association) as team coach/manager of their representative XI. However while there, the First World War broke out and he was subsequently interned at Ruhleben, a civilian detention camp near Berlin.

The camp contained between 4,000 and 5,500 prisoners. Gradually a

mini-society evolved and football became a popular activity.

Wolstenholme was one of several former professional footballers in the

camp. Others included fellow former England internationals, Fred Spiksley, Fred Pentland and Steve Bloomer, a German international Edwin Dutton and two fellow former Evertonians, John Cameron and John Brearley.
