Ibbo48 Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 (edited) I remember the end of the previous season, being stood on the Lepp with my dad and him pointing out where he was sitting with his first ever season ticket when it opened. Hed never been able to afford one before but had decided to splash out as his legs were starting to go a bit. Hard to believe that he’d stood in that spot on the Lepp for years and had brought me to stand in the same place despite the fact we could have been seriously hurt getting in and out.

Although after 58 year's exemplary service, it has suddenly become a health and safety hazard. Who'd have thought it Snoots. Well, other than those Saggers......

Guest Jack the Hat Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The only remaining football stand in Nicolas pevners buildings of England. Historically an important piece of engineering. People should remember this when considering a soulless wrap around stadium. The North stand is a thing of beauty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flat Owl Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 £150 grand cost to build... About the same cost in Lawyers fees to keep it open in the face of ridiculous claims by unaccountable people in positions of authority. Disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

latemodelchild Posted August 23, 2019 Share Posted August 23, 2019 The finest football stand in the world in my opinion. A thing of beauty whether empty or full. If you ever get a chance to be on the pitch before a game take a second to look at it cos its an incredible sight. Wouldn't want to sit anywhere else on match days. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
