Those crash barriers being painted sky blue makes it a relatively modern pic. I only remember them being green. That 2-2 was one of the great days. Why were you in the Burnley end?

That ground has changed so much, been on many times over the decades, and stood and sat on three different ends for so called away ends watching Bolton.

Changing subject slightly, Notts County floodlights were too. Wer played one season and Watson's were the main match sponsor with Watson's of Bolton al around the ground and programme.

Fucking old ‘un’s building these identikit grounds eh? One man designed stands for over 25% of football league grounds (plus the same proportion of Scottish league grounds, major Irish grounds and Twickenham. He was Archibald K Leitch (not to be confused with Cary Grant, who was Archibald A Leach). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
