West Stand Leppings Lane end over the years...


Recommended Posts

Spent my first years on the Lepp in the corner where the scoreboard is now. Mid 60s moved to behind the goal when chanting and singing started to be a thing at matches.

Happy memories of great players, good football and none of the hysteria and overblown expectation that’s now ruined the game

I used to go in Leop where scoreboard is now.. We used to get free tickets from our teacher on Saturday morning after playing for school football team.. always remember Colin Dobson taking corners, one of my earliest memories

 

Yes remember that well.. No Potteresque corners in those days. Dobson, Finney and Wilkinson all knew how to take a decent corner. We actually used to score from the perfectly placed cross onto somebody’s head in those days. 

Blimey we often used to expect to score from a corner. How times change.

Sadly,It now remembered for all the wrong reasons and the sooner it's demolished and a new structure built the better. :sad:

 

As long as they re paint PRESTO  on the new stands roof. Its been there so long its part of our history.

Only one man can bring back scoring from every corner!

Although I agree it’s time it was redeveloped I’d be annoyed if it were done before we get promoted.

 

We should keep the money we have to strengthen the team.

Apparently FFP is the problem not the owners access to dosh, and ground improvements have no bearing on FFP.
