Was awful when we went in the playoffs, think it's a bit different now though

looks a lot like Scarborough's away end did at the time they went out of the League.

the away end was open, in the play off game.
Could be a tad wet and horrible in Feb

never been in an open terrace before, unless you count the millhouse one as the roof doesnt quite cover it :roll:

The away end is now a new covered seated stand. The old away end was shocking , you had to walk through a bowling green and some back gardens to get in! They also used have some nice 'porta loos' where I once nearly stood in human tusker that was on the floor in the cubical... nice!

it was a dump and probably still is. No doubt we will get beat by them again....

Oh great another seated away end. sadx

The old away section was cushty :wink:

Still, I will be in attendance.

I actually have a fond memory of it before that play-off game of course :evil:

During our 21 unbeaten run under Turner we were stood right next to James Sharp's family when he scored the winner right in front of us! But the thing that was shite about it was the fact if you were stood in the terrace you couldn't actually see the goaline or the first six yards of the pitch due to it being that tight to the advertising boards, it was great if you stood right near the front as we did that day but rubbish with a big away following like the play-off game.

Sorry Tom but your new sig is shite and offensive to strained eyes!

I'm sure Kev Henderson scored the winner in our only ever win against them at their ground. We came back from 1 down to win 2-1. Hendo's goal was after he raced away from the halfway line and slotted it under the keeper.
I think the Sharp winner was at Kidderminster

I remember banging the advetising barrier at the front untill it hurt too much, so I took me shoe off,popped me hand in and continued banging!!

the away end was like a shanty town

possibly the most depressed I've ever been after a match
