Gate 13 Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Tea Bar, nice 3/4 view of the pitch, handy for a cuppa and away sharpish at the final whistle down the back of the old West Stand. Backbiter, Fruit Bat and The Rising Sun 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fruit Bat Posted September 13 Share Posted September 13 Staying as close to West Stand as far as the corrugated iron would get you. The top bit was out of bounds for a good while for terrace compliance repairs, as was the lower bit by the East Stand. Shed capacity probably dropped by 4000 or so. Not that we had too many full houses granted.. Stupefying how we can spend £70 mill on an unproven winger now and couldn’t afford peanuts to renovate concrete terraces.

I'd say, based on the way the wall is curving away, that those on the left are standing in the Shed where it met the West Stand benches. erskblue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Decent player but one paced. Remember the Oxford fans singing in their country bumpkins tones “ I’m Oxford till I die...I know I am, I’m sure I am..

Richard P Posted September 19 Share Posted September 19 77-78 was the last time before the GLC made the club up date the terrace barriers. Fans went in there during Boro game as shed was packed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
