Northern Red Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 My memory is hazy but the Atyeo must have gone up quite quickly? it was open at the start of the 94/95 season and the Open End was still in use in early 94? (Liverpool cup games certainly). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between heaven and hell Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 17 hours ago, Dr Balls said: Memories of my dad and his mate Gordon being in Crackers Corner in the late 70s, while I was packed off to watch our time in the top flight as "a young 'un" in the "Schoolboy enclosure", those few rows of terrace in front of the Dolman stand. Also stood on the open end with my dad to see us beat Chelsea in the FA cup in 1990 when I was home from university for Christmas. Strangely, despite it chucking it down, I don't really remember getting that wet! And not long after that it was gone and replaced by the Atyeo stand, which in its day was a major leap forward compared to most of the rest of the ground. That shows how far we have come recently! My memory tells me that Chelsea were given the whole of the open end in that FA cup match ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHIPLEY RED Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 My dad always took me in the open end back in the 70's for no other reason than it was the cheapest end. I remember being in there before the fences and segregation. Man Utd in Div 2 was interesting as a 10 year old. Remember me dad left what he thought was a few minutes early to avoid any trouble only to find his watch was wrong and we got out about 30 seconds before the United fans who ran up Coronation Road causing havoc, scarring me to death. Another memory I have was against Liverpool in Div 1. The end was so packed I got lifted into the school boy enclosure for safety. It makes the recent thread about attendances look daft when in those days the attendance was always more than declared. The blokes on the turnstiles would always claim the turnstile was stuck so many got in without registering I can even remember being told to jump over - they were only waist height in those days. Happy days - although i have to admit the facilities are far superior now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That didn't end well for the few that got shut in with us when the gates were closed. Loved the Park end. Proper memories of watching football I was sat in the East End that night, remember seeing the home and away sections of the Open End suddenly empty during half time. Obviously fans from both sides had piled around the back of the terrace after the gates had been forced open. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rat23 Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 Loved the parkend , if you stood at the back you could look down on the away fans milling about buying tea and coffee, and generally being boisterous, always remember coventry late 70s and a large proportion of them (200 odd) were punks who never moved from being slumped against the walls behind their terrace where they witnessed not one minute of football - was odd to witnessas as a 12 year old ...... i suspected at the time that drink and being pretty vacant was involved. . Always remember coppers asking you to open your hands looking for missiles and the joyus confetti years round about the time ultra magazine was about ..fun daze indeed .- the Atyeo was a massive disappointment .

One was when I was earning £7 a week as a young student early 70s I was in there with some mates when three very attractive girls approached us holding a charity bucket asking for donations. Being a bit pissed and a bit cocky I said “show us yer tits and I’ll give you a fiver” much to my regret she opened her shirt and flashed a pair of bare tits at us.......She held the bucket out and I had no choice but to pay up.....by last fiver! I was skint the entire week............. Did that teach you to 'nip' that sort of behaviour in the 'bud' young Robbo? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lanterne Rouge Posted December 31, 2018 Report Share Posted December 31, 2018 I only ever went in the Park End a couple of times but one I do remember was a game v Coventry where they`d nicked a load of newspapers from the station back when they used to be rolled tightly in wrappers. They were scuffing up the ends on the concrete, lighting them and throwing them in our end. Happy days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No idea but there are a few things going on in this picture. It seems the bus garage is still there but looks like it might be being demolished. The site at the top has been cleared ready for Sainsbury`s to be built and the tobacco warehouses haven`t been blown up yet. Takes me back that!

You can`t hold back the ageing process can you! You’ve also got the old bond buildings opposite that were blown up a few years later - remember going to watch that. Also Sainsburys is just starting to be built in the far right corner. So many changes over past 25 years in that shot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
