I heard stories about the threepenny stand
What was the capacity back then?
What’s happens in the threepenny stand stays in the threepenny stand!!!
Unlike here it won't be the taxpayers
Back when I used to go in 80's it was around 14k I think, but seemed like 40k! Been in some wild times in the old grounds! Thrum hall was the other one where it always kicked off!
You go to the 85’ final at boothferry park?
Biggest derby crowds were at boothferry park when the soccer club lent their ground can’t remember why
2 finals.
yes. was covered in snow and bloody freezing! Phil Hogan played with a broken arm. Tough bugger he was!
crazy when you think back the conditions we used to play in.
They used to leave it on to stop the ground from freezing. Refs wouldnt allow games on frozen pitches. Many a game I got down to Craven Park early to help them shovel the snow off the pitch 15mins before kick off!
So that’s where you got the experience in shovelling stuff
I got used to dealing with wet drips, served me well on here lol
Never knew that.
Yeh the snow acted as an Insulator and stopped the soil freezing!
