Stottie Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 the one where Wyn Davies has Jimmy Montgomery horizontal on his hip at the Gallowgate end these days he'd be banned for a year for hitting a 'keeper like that Before my time, but that's the barge that ended up in the "Big Match" video compilation from the 1970s, isn't it? That whole video is hilarious. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brilliant, mind. Watched most of peterborough a in 92/3 season from the pylon. And as mentioned by madras , huddersfield a 84 from the scoreboard. any number of games hanging from fences.

TK-421 Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Not a Pylon, but I remember the FA Cup tie at Blackburn in 1992 (I think it was?), when the Darwin end was being demolished (think it was the last match before it closed)... most of the roof covering was gone, and a few lads were up in the rafters. The staff/stewards threatened to delay the kick off until they came down. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 Anyone on here actually do that? Brilliant, mind. I did it at the Gallowgate when I was a kid but never to the height some of those are at. During some of the bigger games you could see people up trees in Leazes Park from the Gallowgate, that was after they'd knocked down the old Leazes and had a lower back wall.

Beren Posted December 13, 2013 Share Posted December 13, 2013 That's class. Must be great being at the top. Good view and not having to listen to the idiot vocal fan who wears many faces, has followed you to every game you've ever been to and that you can never fully escape.

Did they need to knock it down in 78 when they obviously couldn't afford to replace it? the story I was told was the stand to match the east stand was ready to go up. but the cost of demolishing the old leazes end went over-to about half a £million- and they were left unable to pay for the leazes stands construction.

Look at the kids getting in for nothing by climbing the wall, one of our future players (at the time) used to get in that way. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
