    Loving the old Brewery stand shots. Always stood opposite on terrace amazed at the frequency of fags being lit as the gloom descended and the old Oakwell Ales signage began to peek through the John Smiths paint job.

    Cracking set of current photo's. The old one's don't half bring back some memories. A real football ground from the days when men were men and wingers **** themselves waiting for the first tackle!

    I know, as nice as the ground is now it would be great if we could magically have the old ground back for one big game.

    Quiz question - without cheating, which was the last match we played in front of a crowd of 20k+ before we started redeveloping the ground?

    I think I'd agree with that. A 1-1 draw in October 1990.

    Close. That was the last league match, but we had over 22k a couple of months later for an FA Cup third round game at home to Leeds in the blustery wind. Mel Sterland scored and then ran the length of the brewery stand patting his belly (he had been getting some stick over the size of it!) only for John Deehan to catch the ball a few minutes later and volley in whilst the Leeds players were shouting for the handball.

    Then the replay...George Courtney...John McLelland...enough said!
