9 years before I was born.

One question I have for anyone around in that era. We're the colours really that washed out in real life or is it the camera playing tricks. It always just looks so dull and drab.

Looks like that was shot on fast 16mm film stock (fast stock for light sensitivty due to lack of lighting), quite normal for outside reportage back then. It was expensive, so it would be processed quickly with basic grading, or raw stock imaging, which is why it would lack saturation and punch.

Sorry for getting geeky.

You’ve been on a message board for a lower league team for 20 years- we’re all geeks

Great question btw

I'd say also that that looks to have been a typical summer in the mid 70s - parched grass, faded paint etc. Pitches weren't as lush back then, and certainly not re-laid every season. We "made do". We're all so used to seeing things in high definition, enhanced colour now that this looks somehow wrong but it's how I remember my summers from the 70s!
