Lincs Owl Posted May 20, 2020 Share Posted May 20, 2020 There's a very similar picture in 'Flying Over an Olive Grove'. The Fred Spiksley story. Says its the last derby at Olive Grove, 3rd Oct 1898.1-1 draw in front of an estimated 16,000. Clubs didn't have to give official attendances out until 1926. Hemmingfield scored for t'lads. Very atmospheric photo. Was that the stand that was taken to Hillsboro and got replaced by the South stand in about 1914? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A 1-0 victory in front of 15,000 with the goal scored by Bell. On second thought's i'll concede to Lincs Owl as Foulkes wasn't with the Blades 7/9/1895.

Yes the main stand at Olive Grove was moved to Owlerton when it was built in 1899 Here's a photo from 1909 showing it where the current South stand is. Not on a happy day though, trounced by Middlesbrough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found it on t'interweb a while ago. Don't know where it was from. It's got the players names on it though apart from Bloomer its hard to make them out.
