Old Railway Stand (12 replies)

Obviously, I haven't got better things to do on a Monday.....but I was telling the good lady yesterday that when I was a lad in the mid 70's my old man was a steward down the Blues for a couple of years.

When he got there around half one ish I was dispatched to the "broom/paint cupboard" at the end of the old railway stand (nearest the clock) in between the two tiers.
In this cupboard 2 ladders with a plank of wood between the top steps was there for the lads of the stewards to sit on else you couldn't see the pitch.....

We must have been between aged 6 or 7 and there was normally half a dozen of us on this plank.
The times the whole thing collapsed when we scored or cus we were messing about etc and us trying to put it back together as little kids happy days.
Then around 5 o'clock all the dads would collect the kids and we'd all turn up a fortnight later or the odd night game to rinse and repeat.

Anyway as you were and apologies if you've wasted 30 secs of your life reading my ramblings.....KRO.
