we know the kippax was the popular side before the roof went on, and we know the platt lane was the platt lane before the roof and seats went on,and we know the main stand has always been the main stand, but........ what was the scoreboard end called before they put up the scoreboard ? ? ? ? ?

Before my time that, I started in the late eighties, but what I loved most when I first started going was the anticipation of how many would turn up on the day, todays Bluemoon seat counters had nothing on us trying to work out how many where in the ground & how many Swales would declare, that fencing in pic1 made me laugh, it’s like a tennis court
