I remember sitting in the wooden seats above the terracing in Shrivy Rd for my first game!


Those seats were condemned by the time I started to go. It lookesd a bit lethal I have to say.

Maybe it's just nostelga, but I miss the old Shrivvy Road stand even though I never went in there before it was demolished.

Edit: actually, looking at the B&W pic again it looks all wrong. That can't be the same South stand that the current incumbant replaced, can it?

I believe one of the stands at Anfeld was like that, maybe some imitation going on (i might be wrong on either count though).  Can anyone suggest why there was the large drop at the front that was only filled in circa 1991/2, I think Bristol city did similar to one of their stands more recently.


The current NS was built behind the old NS to enable it's use while construction was still ongoing.  Once they finished the current NS, the removed the old NS and we were left with the gap you refer to.  This was then re-filled in some 20 years after it was originally removed.

No it isn't. The green shrivenham road stand before the current one was from Aldeshot I believe.  Was good standing then,  there was a time i'd have to get in at 1.30 to stand at the front with a crate - now that's  Cool

no its not, that was there before the old green shrivvy road stand, which came from aldershot tattoo ground as dogs rightly pointed out.

the way i wrote that last post didnt help, i meant i dont have any decent pics of shrivvy road, but that b&w one was the best i have of the CG.
