That's right similar to the Osmaston End at The Baseball Ground.
My first away game was at Saltergate , in 1964, a 0-0 draw. I went with my mum on the train because my dad had been , unexpectedly called in to work !
We sat on the wooden bench seats in the main stand.
Talking of which we used to pay the extra tanner to sit in the old Meadow Lane stand if it was raining or snowing .
Great , nostalgic , memories.
