Thats how i remember ' THE OLD GIRL " in the second picture. That GRANGE END was FABULOUS to stand in during the late 60's and 70's

I don't remember the grandstand being that small but I doubt I paid any attention to it when I started going. I do remember sitting in the grandstand with my mother once when we played Fulham in the days that George Best played for them as she wanted to see him play being from N. Ireland herself but that might have been mid 70s (?).

Yes it was extended I use to have seat at back at end nearest to canton stand

So many fond memories of the place.

Ah what a place. The true good ol days

I have hazy memories.

I remember walking under a wooden stand in what i think was the Grange for my first ever game which was under the lights and remember my old man wouldn't take me to an FA cup game against spurs eary 70's (may have been Arsenal) cos there would be trouble (and he was going with his mates)

Then a good few years later the bob bank against PNE. Was the bob bank always concrete? Can never remember the grandstand anything but full-sized, when was the extension?

Extended in about mid seventies. Way before more time or anyone on this forum probably but the Bob bank was originally earth or ash and wooden sleepers i think. I think the bottom half was concreted in the 30's and all concreted some time later

The day George Best was supposed to play was New Years Day in 1977 I think and I think he didn't play. Hangover probably. I remember it well because Bobby Moore and Rodney Marsh played and Robin Friday made his debut, kicking Bobby Moore straight from the kick off before he had kicked a ball for Cardiff.

The grandstand would have been extended by then.

Yeah I remember sitting there wishing I was on the grange end with my mates rather than sat in the grandstand with my mother. It's still the only game of football she has ever been to.

Those were the days. Standing at the back on the old wooden terrace.At the very top - the last terrace- there was a drop of about seventy feet into the garden of the house next to the ground below. You could see it through the cracks. The old wooden planks used to vibrate and creak as we bounced up and down to "Knees up Brian Clark". God knows how we didn't end up in the garden below!!
