Mike Hunt-Hertz Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 A lot of houses have sprung up, between 1930 and 1933....including Shedman's! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Southstandoriginal Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 The East End looks huge compared to the old stands on the sides. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pongo88 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 1930s Ashton Gate looks smarter than the 2018 Memorial Stadium Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bar BS3 Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 I’ve also found a fascinating shot of the Memorial Stadium, from what I can only assume was also from the early/middle part of last century. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's amazing to think how football fans years ago were used to watching games in such poor grounds like this. Luckily such grounds are now a thing of the past ... aren't they?

Erithacus Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 There were a few more old images of the Gate in previous posts, like the "Ashton Gate 1928' thread in the Archives. Some might well be unavailable now but there are more on the original Britain from the Air site. Fascinating to see the way things have grown over time.

Chairman Mao Posted April 17, 2018 Report Share Posted April 17, 2018 Rover's ground is awful. How does it hold 10k? They need to get a new stadium asap, it is just a pure embarrassment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you squint closely enough, you can see the 20,000 ragamuffins who were locked outside. Also, those tents have certainly stood the test of time.

We should have got in first and built a double tier East End in 1931! Not sure parking would have been any easier in 1930; no roads! Great pics.

It wasn’t surprising there was a tremendous atmosphere, as there was a gurt big gas work on one side and a smelly river Frome on the other.

No double yellow lines. A lot of grass. If only we had a multi billionaire owner back then. We could be playing in a bigger stadium than the Nou Camp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
