C139 - Trainers Bench Set
"Six figures consisting of Manager, Trainers, and Reserves to seat inside the new modern, covered, all-weather bench. Reserves have red, or blue tracksuits."

Introduced in 1976 to replace C114, this featured the classic clear plastic bench for the first time. It also saw the end of the forgotten Ken Bailey mascot. In the early sets, there were a couple of grumpy looking cloth capped folk and the reserves from C114. Later versions have re-designed reserves, one manager with his head in his hands, and one separate exercising substitute on his own base. In the later set, tracksuits are often green. This later version was also available in a two bench set, with one group in blue, and the other in red (C179). It also re-appeared in the following compilations - (C187/2), and (61239).
