Old Stadium thread

[sainthelens]

Eastville was probably my first ever away game... special train to Patchway, bricked by Cardiff fans both directions, police escort and fighting with the gas. I was only 14 I thought it was great at the time.

Went there on way back from our postponed game at Derby under Tosh. All on coach wanted to be brave and watch the Rovers/Chelsea game. Bad move...Chelsea were fckn everywhere and kicking anything that moved.
Was an experience I've not forgotten.

The tapered seating in the stand at one end reminds me of The Dell, but I'm not sure if that was one or two tiered.

So was mine, father took me there on a cold frosty boxing day. If memory serves we right , it ended 0-0 but sure Gwyther hit the bar late on. Was hooked after that, and spent 45 travelling to away matches, though don't go away any more.

I remember quite a big open terrace in the away end in the shadow of that big cylinder

Yes it was Stapleton Road...I thought it was Patchway which was the next station I think

The strange stat I have is I've done Hartlepool , Darlington, York, Carlisle, Doncaster, Wigan, Blackburn. Hull. Boston and Rotherham away but none on a weekend.

The 4-0 win at Doncaster on a Friday night
