Always my first memory of the 'Lane ...... going with dad and sitting in the old wooden ML stand. I wasn't too bothered about the football in those early days but would run up and down the rows of planks that were the seats when I got bored. Never many there either as it was the pre Lawton era and all matches were friendlies. I think the entrance to the stand was from the front straight from the terracing ..... but anybody with an old photo of the stand might be able to prove this. When was the football league reformed ... again I forget but think around 1944 -45?
