I think the extra seats were put in during the promotion season in 92/93.

The front of the stand was opened for the live game on ITV vs Derby County on December 6th 1992. |

I am sure I saw a picture (possible in Matticks book) of the new stand being built behind the previous stand so I wonder whether they did run out of cash and couldn't finish once they removed the original?
Must have been a similar story at Ashton Gate with the Dull man stand. |

Harold Fleming's old house up for sale in Old Town, Swindon. Let's all save up & buy it as an STFC museum with Reg as curator.

The new extension was rather sparsely populated.

Oh we had a lot of them back then. In the promotion season under Hoddle we had 1 crowd of under 6k and 7 home games under 8k. And vs Torquay in the LC we only managed just over 3k for the home leg, and that was only 2 weeks after winning down at Plainmoor 6-0. |
