Inspector Lestrade Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 When the north stand is full, it still looks one of the best stands in the country, just beautiful. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Owling Wolfe Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 You can just see the construction starting for the North West Corner (The Wycombe end) for me they should pull that down and build an area with a concourse and conference facilities. Might get to use all the North then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

steelowl Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I'm not sure the younger end of our fans appreciate just how incredible that stand was when it was built and still is to my eyes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mus Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 Said to my other half only at the last match, can you remember for years people used to say they sat in the 'cantelever', no one says in now but they did for years after it was built. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chilli Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 I still sometimes call it the 'cant'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm assuming that they are there but just out of view from that camera angle. Unless you mean the ones near the front which were added when the roof was extended. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dronfield Blue Posted April 16, 2018 Share Posted April 16, 2018 The edges of the pitch are rounded off, like an iPhone. Steve Jobs must have got the idea from us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
