Rosettes & Rattles have disappeared from football grounds completely, what else has gone from when you first started going?
We used to have a huge rattle painted red and white, it took two hands to turn it!
I got hit over the head by an old lady Gillingham fan in Church Lane once, that hurt!
Remember the rosettes that had a little silver FA Cup in the middle?

Not having a big screen or scoreboard.
Not having squad numbers.
More substitutes, 5, now 7.0 -
The team printed in the match programme was usually the one that played!
Lobbing bog-rolls on the pitch when we scored.0 -
When did the handheld signs get replaced by the electric display for substitutes... that must be well over a decade now?0

Terraces
Atmosphere
Players who stick around long enough to become synonymous with a club
The witty old timer who used to sit behind me when I first got a season ticket and amuse me by shouting "feed him some carrots, ref" and other such wisdom at opponents and our own players. Now sadly replaced by humourless loud mouths who just shout "w@nker" and "you're fu**ing sh*t!". Not funny or clever.0 -
The vidiprinter on Final Score - sadly never got to see us score enough goals in one match for the score to warrant being shown with the score in words as well as numbers to confirm it wasn't a mistake, i.e. Charlton 8 (eight) Millwall 0.2

Spectators walking along the mid-terrace gangway from one end of the ground to the other at half time in order to stand behind the goal their team was attacking, and without needing to be segregated from supporters of the other team.

Lots of spectators wearing jackets and ties.

I searched Charlton Life to find out what happened to rattles. I recall as a nipper getting one for Christmas and lovingly painting it (badly) red and white. This thread was the nearest thing but where did they go?0

I think that backpasses are definitely back. Watching the Euros I've never seen so many. I'm sure when I was a kid a backpass was an occasional joy performed only by flashy forwards and tricky wingers. Now it seems not only de rigueur amongst the exceptionally talented, but standard practice all over the pitch. I'm sure that in the past any defender doing a back pass in their own box would have got a blocking so loud, that their ears would still be ringing now. But today it's treated as a good way of retaining possession. I guess that (at Euro level at least) overall ball control is so much better these days.AFKABartram said:Backpasses and Wagon Wheels !

Are you confusing back heels with a back pass that the keeper can not pick up?Stig said:
