  • A bit unusual this, because the football match appears to be a Second Division game, rather than as would be expected a First Division one. Adverts point to near Victoria Station and the layout and "corner tunnel" lead me to think this is Craven Cottage, Fulham. In the wide shots the board to the back of the terracing appears to say "Fulham Football Club". If so the opening game of 1927/1928 was on 27 August 1927 against Preston (which would tie in with them being in change strip of all blue). Game ended a 2-2 draw.
