After the Bradford fire IIRC, being wooden it was a fire risk.

Think it was to do with the exits more than it being wooden. Basically in the event of a fire we'd have all burned while trying to escape or the stairs would have collapsed (so shit were they).

I thought it was where the North Stand was now, i am guessing it's early 20th century. I don't think there were any seats on Shrivvy road until the old Aldershot Tatoo stand was purchased in 1958. |

From the station at Colchester
To the cells of Warrington
From the services at Leicester
To the slums of Northampton
We travel over England
And one day Europe too
Cos we all follow the Swindon
We're the famous Town End crew.
