DazBob Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Been in that upper tier plenty of times and even queuing for a beer at the kiosk, when we've taken decent numbers, gets ridiculously crushed. Quote

Said the same every time I’ve been. En route to the ‘Liam Trotter game’ our tram got delayed en route. A good couple of hundred Bolton fans on it. Ended up getting to the ground just after 3.10 to find there was only one turnstile open even though they’d have known full well that there were hundreds of ticket holders still to arrive. I’d consider that to be basic safety management at any venue, but for one with that layout and history is ridiculous. Quote
Marc505 Posted March 14, 2023 Author Posted March 14, 2023 It isn't fit for purpose, it's a fucking dump in that away end and Sheff Weds fans justifying it out of some blind loyalty to their club are idiots. I don't mind an old school terrace or stand, but Leppings Lane end wants razing to the ground. Quote

Bolted seats on to the lower tier but in terms of the actual structure of the stand or indeed the general layout…absolutely fuck all. Quote
tomski Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 Another one who loves a proper ground but that stand is shite. The concourse is way too tight. QPR is similar but something likeable about loftus Road. Probably subconsciously that it hasn’t had a disaster that swings it Quote
Mounts Kipper Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 (edited) Only time I can remember being in the bottom tier was 80s when Peter barnes had a strop and think it was Phil Neal who dragged him off. Edited March 14, 2023 by Mounts Kipper Quote
LodgeMorrWhite Posted March 14, 2023 Posted March 14, 2023 I love old grounds but the Leppings Lane stand is a dump and is not fit for purpose. When you think of all the development at grounds over the past 30 years, how has this stand not been bulldozed! Quote
