When women knew their place!

As we are celebrating 100 years of women's suffrage I thought I would share this item from a Coventry City programme of 1970 when football was a man's game. It is a competition to win a " holiday in the sun". All one had to do was to rate the six women in the photographs in terms of their attractiveness. If your choice coincided with the judges' opinion you could win a holiday.

Having lived in Coventry I suspect that the said " Holiday in the sun " was actually a weekend in Barry Island.

    Then 4,3,1,5, 6

    I’m sitting in a coffee shop in Amsterdam giving this far too much thought - I’ve actually changed my mind 3 times on a competition that ended 48 years ago.

    General Charlton? I don't want antiquated sexist crap like this categorized in a Charlton related thread.



    Anyway I'd go for 3, 1,6, 4&2 I can't split and 5. Do you have the result?

    Unfortunately I don't know the result.

    I put this in General Charlton because I thought that Airman Brown might want to borrow the idea to increase sales of VOTV.

    I can hear in the distance the trumpets and rallying cries of the CL outrage squad, reving the right-on bus...

    Most of you have just removed yourselves from ever being in contention for the role of manager of England's women's football team.
