The 1st photo of the ground is what it was like for my Ist match in 1961 , the view is from the open Brummie .
Our ground needs redeveloping , we have had a lot of sell outs the season but the capacity is now only 25,350 .
The segregation in the Smethwick costs us a loss of 1,500 seats . The small away allocation , is costing us a lot of money .
The ground when they built the new stands, should have been built further back on the East stand , which would have solved all the problems with rebuilding the Halfolds .
This is what wolves did when they built the Billy Wright , I know due to them going bump they ended up with just one stand miles from the pitch . But the layout ended up working for them .
One big cock up from Peace .
