My photos of the Valley clean up day should be in the museum archive, along with a poem describing the day that I composed to go with the images. 

Would be great to have the poem.

Excellent photos by the way CE.  Thanks.

Real community feeling back then...wonder if we will ever recover from this shitbag's reign

A guy I used to work with took a lot of photos that day. We were cleaning up the East Terrace. Ive lost touch with him but I think his brother probably reads CL. I wonder if he could supply some copies......RG if you're reading this maybe you could send in copies.

The now defunct “Today” newspaper took pics of a few of us playing footy at the Jimmy Seed Stand end , thought I was gonna be in the paper but the pic was not used .

Edit : The “Today” newspaper ran from Feb 1986 to Nov 1995 and also sponsored the Football League 1986/7
