and many thanks to Mr. Price who supplied me with a readable version of the back, rather than my very browned and light one!
We started with week with a stadium, which is where the top groundskeepers aspire to work. This one was White City Stadium, and in the year this card was published, 1908, it was used for the Olympic Games between May and October, which were relocated from Rome due to the eruption of Mount Vesuvius, and the Franco British Exhibition between May and September. Of course the Olympics did not actually take all that time, but the dates are so recorded because the final event, the figure skating, was not held until the October. Mind you that was not even held at White City, but it is still part of the Games.
What you may not know is that it was also at one time the home ground of Queens Park Rangers. This happened twice, in 1931-32 and in 1962-63.
