Robbored Posted April 30 Report Share Posted April 30 Blimey those images take me down memory lane but the EE always seemed much fuller back then. It got so packed that it was a struggle to move anywhere. We used to try and stand at the back where it was easier to go for a piss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So someone coined " East End" as it sounded a bit hard! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

22A Posted April 30 Author Report Share Posted April 30 According to Peter Godsiff's book; in the late 1920s it was christened Bourton v- Keating stand. Blackburn snapped up City's forwards Bourton & Keating for a combined deal of £3,650. With some of the money City erected a corrugated iron covering over the Winterstoke Road end.
