Yeah that's the ones, I'm sure we got them from Twickenham, before that there was a row Of boxes at the front of the main stand, just wandering if they replaced them.

Did they replace the boxes at the front of the main stand, I can't remember.

That seems unbelievably big, the Holte End was the largest open (kop) terrace in the Country with just over 30.000 but all standing, kop at Anfield, kop at Hillsboro and the Southbank at Wolves not far behind, none of those contained seats. Have you any link to this. Cheers

Oooh Young Man !!! Think we purchased that block of exec boxes from Twickenham.

No but it broke the never ending monotony of nothingness both before and after it.

They would have had to take us to the top of the league at some point to achieve that.

Another great photo. I can't remember the the sloping white wall half way up the kop, as in this picture,However I do remember the front wall sloping down from the SBS to the main stand.

So if we'd have gone up last season we would have been rock bottom below Rotherham, I'm glad we didn't go up now,bring on league 2.

Sheffield united making signings that will virtually guarantee them gaining promotion out of this shit league, if only we had been thinking along the same lines this time last year.

Yeah your probably right, well that' and then there's them not being funny.;)

In which pub shall we rendezvous, the Fleece maybe, or how about the Oddfellows arms.

I think he was referring to the usual clientele in Spoons at that time on a Saturday TBH

It was during the period you're on about, before that I loved it.

I think their going to launch an "assault on their eardrums" by playing "The Enemy" at them at full volume. ...Poor souls.:emoji_scream:

But Wilson was attainable, right up to the moment he signed for Rotherham. I struggle to blame any manager at this club over the past few years, I don't think any of us Can really appreciate the constraints from which they have to work within.

If we carry on down the path we're currently taking, in a few years time Cov Utd could find Themselves a promotion away from entering the football league, whilst representing the Largest city (by far) with no league club.

Shit seriously, watched it earlier and it looked bad, but didn't realise it was so serious Until just reading this. Everything crossed for him.

17000 wouldn't surprise me, a roof would have been impossible, I just meant if you lost the crows nest And then levelled it out, then plonk a roof on it, would have been an equal to Liverpool, Holte end, SW, Northbank, Stretford end etc. Obviously the road running behind it wouldn't allow it...

I Wonder how many used to cram in there, if it had been level at its highest point and With a roof, we'd have had ourselves a kop to rival anyone's, I would think. Love old pics of football grounds, especially HR.
