    Neither. The version where the Brewery Stand roof ran the full length of that side.

    Thank God for that. I thought I was going dotty. That stand looks lot smaller than I remember it, I thought.

    Bottom photo. Has anyone noticed that the D outside the penalty area at the Ponty end is smaller than the other one?
    What is the purpose of the D anyway?

    Nostalgia isn't what it used to be. The old photo is great, even I don't remember before the end extensions provided by the supporters club we built. However, what we have today is a great improvement.

    I used to love it back in the sixties when I could stand behind the goal that we were kicking in to & then at half time walk around to the other end for more of the same , happy days

    Why didn't the club put seats in the corners when it did the Stadium up in the nineties? Our ground was filled in at three sides looking at those terracing pictures. It would be a better atmosphere.

    Isn't there some sort of covenant that someone had put in place that their line of sight shouldn't be broken to the countryside beyond the ground or summat?

    I don't like filling stadiums, no character.
