that stand was opened in 80-81 season. I was working in Brum in March 81 and went to a FA Cup Q/f replay against Boro. We got tickets off atout and went in the new stand and found the touchline was about 50 yards away. In that photo the pitch has been moved across, so could be the following season.
The away section was in the end the photo was taken. To the right of the photographer.

Had 2 of the bar-stewards circling my TV (obviously putting off the South African batsmen, which is also not cricket). Have just found one good use for The Daily Echo.
Ron scored with a header from a corner taken by David Thompson (in for Sydenham). Leeds battered us but McLaren kept them out. I went to game with my Dad and older cousins and we managed to get back to their house, in Wokingham, in time to see MOTD.
