Inspector Lestrade Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 You could use your season ticket for both the Kop and the Leppings Lane, which was nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Costello 77 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'm sure I made my way once from the kop to the lep during one game...hazy about how tho... I could be wrong tho.. WTF!? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mid Wicket Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ibbo48 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Yep. You could go from one end to the other at halftime. Can’t remember when it stopped. It was a regular thing at a lot of grounds when segregation wasn’t such an issue 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TrickyTrev Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
