@owlstalk Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I have memories of walking down behind the South Stand on matchdays and going under a bridge that went from the back of the old South Stand across to a bar or restaurant type thing? David Hirst would be stood on there watching the crowds arrive and it was great to be able to give him a wave and then shout good luck to him or ask him questions Then you'd walk a little bit further down past the players entrance and there would be the old ticket office and the queues divided by those blue crush barrier things to keep everyone in line before they could reach the counter where they'd have to talk to the glass to the lady behind to get tickets Anyone got any photos of either of these? 2 Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
31Dec1966 Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 I wish I had. Took my Kodak Instamatic a few times but never photographed that area. There might be some press photos when there were crowds there getting tickets for Cup ties. You couldnt even really see the person behind the window ! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's weird too as I had that bridge a bit further towards the camera - like going over where those two new doors are on the right? Weird how memories play tricks eh!

My memory is foggy I can remember the inside of it but always thought it was built into an actual brick building Owlstalk Shop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OhForAnotherShez Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Didn't the shop originally have a portacabin near the floodlight pylon SW corner? Also mini cabins inside the ground. On memories, anyone remember the big tree that was roughly between the director's entrance and the river - late 50s I believe, when my dad taught me my religion at weekends. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a video on youtube from a cup-tie in the 50's where they show cars arriving behind the south with the tree bang in the middle of the driveway. It's was a news reel from British Pathe News of the day ,sadly been removed here's a aerial photo though. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
