1909 - Hartlepool Rovers v Durham City

What we know about this image :

Rovers dominated the Durham Senior Cup from 1905 to the outset of the Great War with five of the Finals being played in consecutive seasons of 1908 to 1912 against rivals Durham City.  All five Finals took place on Ashbrooke in Sunderland and this picture was probably taken during one of those games.  A full house ensued for each Final but looking at the balconies of the Vila Residences overlooking the ground, all of which are still standing today, it appears some residents made a party of it and at the same time saving their friends the price of admission.
