We Are The Lever Enders

I fuckin hated being put in the lever end.

 

I wanted to go in the paddock where all the action was.

 

My first paddock season ticket was the 95 prem season and never sat on them shit green seats with rain holes in them again.

Manny Road North was the bestest.

My first match was perched on a stanchion up on the Lever End, dad holding me on.

Big matches varied between there and th'Embankment till 1958.

The Burnden Paddock for Stoke & Wolves in t'Coop. Manny Rd paddock for the PNE tie in 1959.

The Lever End when I started going on my own - unless a neighbour gave me a spare Manny Road stand seat complimentary.

Moved to the Burnden Paddock around the mid 1960's, till they knocked the whole place down.

It's been a long old time.

mark Prudhoe, I think the stoke reserve keeper who was then ancient really played up to it and enjoyed it before being bollocked by ian cranston

 

the prem season under todd and McFarland, when we had red season ticket books. a Wimbledon player got sent off, the chant was class
