I had years of fun down here with an Udders fan. "It only has three fucking sides". Was a bloody shame they added the fourth.

Eh?

It’s always had 4 sides hasn’t it?

Went to quite a few RL games after it opened and one end was definitely missing a stand for a few years

You can see the pedigree... the "banana trusses" anchored by the floodlights.

I was fascinated by the lights at the Reebok... one morning the safety officer went storming into the project manager's office demanding that the MD of the fire protection company (me) should be summoned immediately as four of his workers climbed the towers last night... he replied that he might find the MD was one of them! We had a competition after work... one in each corner and who could climb their floodlight quickest... I came last  😞

Thats life, or should be. I think we all know it won’t be. 

[Alf Hartigan]

I read that he didn’t die. But agree it’s murder if he did and attempt murder if not. How could anybody not agree

I made the mistake of looking at some of the other stuff that lass has posted.

Clearly some legitimate and relevant stuff, but plenty of dodgy stuff too.

Sold Paul Fletcher as well didn't we? Or was that before?

Went looking at his house in the late 90’s, but I didn’t know it was Fletchers house. 

He wasn’t in but his wife showed us round and then made us a brew afterwards. 

Anyway live scores were on TV and Frandsen scored (I think it was against Norwich) and she jumped up. 

Had a good chat as I didn’t realise they were Bolton fans and she obviously didn’t know we were. 

Pics all over the house with them both with loads of top celebs.

Didnt buy it because I remember thinking I’m hopeless at DIY and the house will look shit when all those pics are taken off the walls.

More worryingly having checked dates I was playing Sunday morning football in Huddersfield at the time and went past the ground virtually every week !

 It's an easy thing to miss pal.

It used to wind my mate from Slaithwaite up greatly. "Come back when you've got four fucking sides. Peasants".

Think when they finally built it, they then didn’t have a lower tier.

Sorry to disappoint... we were wearing our harnesses as we had been up on cherry pickers all day.

When the lights first came on we all got beers in and had a floodlit drink-up in the centre circle (groundsman had gone home)... woke up the next morning in my digs in Belmont minus a boot... couldn't walk properly for the next couple of days

Seem to recall when it had that side missing it meant they could put a big stage up and do gigs 

REM, Bon Jovi and Bryan Adams spring to mind

They still do gigs now but presumably with less emphasis on the stage

Wonder if DJ Smile ever got a slot in his prime?
