WhistleHappy Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Hang on, when I was a nipper and my dad first took me to the Gate (1975) we had the covered end and the open end, otherwise known as the Park end and the East end. I always thought the 'East end' was the fans name for the covered end and the 'Park end' was the fans name for the open end. One had a roof, hence the 'covered' end and one didn't hence the 'open' end. It made perfect sense to an 8 year old then but I'm not sure it does to a 47 year old now. First went to the Gate six/seven years prior to you and agree as far as I recall that's exactly right, Williams was then simply called the Grandstand (seated) and Enclosure terracing (standing).

Aizoon Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Why would a roof structure be alternatively known as West Brom? Or have I misunderstood? Well, obviously. The Hawthorns is the highest senior ground so it makes sense to call a roof West Brom... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To clarify, the highest English Prem/Football League ground above sea level. I think Oldham must be second highest? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
