North Stand

[Tigerish]

Not ours. The one at Swillsborough. It's been shut for safety reasons. The roof is corroded and could fall down and kill someone. This is the only football stand mentioned in the Pevsner architectural Bible of significant Uk buildings. When it was built in the early Sixties as part of a master plan that never came to fruition, it was absolutely ground breaking and light years ahead of other stands. But now this. That club really has hit rock bottom

[Townerslovechild]

The other stand should have been closed after the tragedy, or at least knocked down, better still, knock the whole sh*t tip down.

What about all of the season ticket holders that have been buying tickets for years including the ones that bought the 10 year ones?

[sawmiller]

Is that the cantilever stand?

Is that the cantilever stand?

That?s the one. Built for the 1966 World Cup.

Completed 5 years before that

There was a rumour that the stand was later repaired using a section from the Iraqi supergun left over at Sheffield Forgemasters

Hope the North stand season ticket holders are put in the Leppings Lane end, then they can see what a sh1te stand that is as well. This should have have been demolished years ago on safety even after the Liverpool episode (RIP).

The major problem with all the stands at Hillsboro is that they are facing the pitch.

Young lady delivering a parcel to my home this afternoon to me she paid 500 & odd for a season ticket at Hillsborough, she does not know where she will be sitting.
She's booked a ticket for Owls first game at Leicester City, her like others feel relegation is looming.

North Stand Hillsborough - Saturday 16th August

Sheffield Wednesday v Stoke City

Wednesday fan called at my home this week with a parcel.
Being a season ticket holder in the north stand, fans were allowed into the stand for
the game.
She showed me pictures of -
Ladies toilets - White paint splashed on the walls, toilet seats & doors
Other toilets in the block were flooded.
So the club did not even get things cleaned up.
Also been alleged the official who passed the north stand fit to use, was a owls fan.

[Spuddy Speight]

Must be a slow news day if toilets have become a topic for conversation.
Scraping the bottom of the pan. Or have I got the wrong end of the stick?
