Great shots, and memories.
It just highlights the grandeur of the North Stand, and also exposes the poor replacement of the home end at the Globe.
There is no going back, I understand, however the North Stand was an almost identical structure to the Danebank terrace built by Northwick Victoria at The Drill Field.
When they went bust and reformed, it was dismantled and rebuilt at their new ground.
When the reformed club went bang, Vics sold the stand to FC United of Manchester, who dismantled it and re erected it at Broadhurst Park.
So it’s in its third home. Yet we were told it couldn’t be done cost effectively???
Just saying.

Wonderful times, loved that stand and had great banter with the folk I stood with every home game, shame it wasn't part of the move.

...the North Stand was an almost identical structure to the Danebank terrace built by Northwick Victoria at The Drill Field.

Apparently, despite the outward similarity, the manner of construction was entirely different. The North Stand involved more poured concrete I think (or something like that) which made dismantling it not cost effective. I was told that it was seriously examined.

Did you find yourself in the crowd? some faces you never see anymore but fond memories of that time.

Yes, that was some evening.

Of course not everybody was excited and full of the thrill of the event.

Spotted myself and the eldest in our usual spot but can't see you in the photos
Just look at how full that stand is
Shame it isn't like that every home game at the globe.

Broke my heart to walk away from cp that night
What a great place with all those memories
Played as a junior when I was 10

Did you have enough room that night Graham to unpack your rucksack and make a cup of tea.

He was looking up thinking who the hell is that down there wearing a Hawiian shirt
