slartibartfast Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Typically, they can't even get that right .It was the corner of the Williams/Park End....unbelievable . On a different tack, do they still do HB, or do the patients have to put up with Radio Drivel ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redysteadygo1 Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 The Grandstand and Open End corner as opposed to the Open End and Old Stand corner stated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BBlockExile Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 Slarti is right the Hospital radio box was situated just to the right of the entrance to the Open End (as you look from the pitch) - the Hirerite / Star inn entrance. Port is also right - the box was a great place to play around especially during reserve games!! RIP Geoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do still do HB (BHBS) and commentary on our home games is done by a Gashead who used to be chair of the Rovers Supporters Club!! (not sure if he does every game but nice to see him educating himself!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's great to see people remember it and I would climb around under it too as mentioned by block earlier. Probably picked that up from you older kids. :laugh:. Its strange that I have mentioned it a few times over the years and no one I spoke to, including people very closely associated with the club, remembered it. So it's good to know I am not completely non compis mentis Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just to clear up matters Slarti is correct. I was just referring to the areas of the ground pre the name Park End, Dolman Stand and Williams Stand. They were referred to as Open End, Old Stand and Grandstand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robbored Posted December 7, 2016 Report Share Posted December 7, 2016 NTTDS now commentates for HB. I bumped into him on Saturday and he had small walkie talkie with him. It as well before ko but he must have been on his way to the broadcasters corner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being pedantic (why change a habit of a lifetime) it was the corner of the Grandstand (Williams) and Open End. The Park End is a fairly recent name given to the end now occupied by the Atyeo Stand.
