Hyde Road Stadium

[droylsdenblue]

No remnants of the stadium remain at the site - not even a Blue plaque commemorating the spot. However, one piece of the ground survived into the 21st century! Part of the roof at Halifax Town's Shay Stadium, was the original roof at Hyde Road ( picture below from 2006 - the piece of roofing at the far left)
I don't know if that stand / roof has been replaced since.

This fact is refuted by the Halifax Town Historian. He told me there was no proof whatsoever this was the case. I know Gary James was looking into it at some point.

Do we think this postcard from 1920/1 is from Hyde Road (rather than an away ground)?

Just zoomed in on the crowd and centre middle I recognised @Eccles Blue and further to the right @oakiecokie

Fame at last. I miss Hyde Road, nearly as much as I miss Maine Road. :-)
