Woof Woof!!! Vodka Drinker Posts: 5,160 Posts Per Day: 0.88 Reputation: 78.41% Rep Score: +43 / -12 Location: Near a Lamp Post Approval: +38	I also remember all you've recalled. The boys compound in the Barratts where you got in cheap and then your dad would lift you out into the main Barratts. Slightly later but still a good memory: Dave Clark Five and 'Glad All Over' before the game.

I remember there was always a bloke straining to listen to a little radio to get the other scores.

When Leeds trainer Les Cocker was once told Norman Hunter had broken a leg, he asked: “Whose is it?”

Snakebite drinker Posts: 380 Posts Per Day: 0.06 Reputation: 84.69% Rep Score: +14 / -2 Approval: +422 Gold Stars: 3	yes, I remember all that, and walking down the Imperial Ave to see the the brick and stone main entrance. My dad giving me a tanner (thats six old pennies, around 2 1/2 pence today, not a tenner ) to go into the boys paddock and then walking round to the main Barratt stand and being crushed for a couple of hours. Do you remember changing ends at half time ? One thing I dont miss is the old "toilet" in the back of the pontoon stand which was pitch black, stunk and downright horrible, and you never walked behind the barratt stand at half time in case you got caught in the yellow rain ! Bobby Cummings is my hero ! The main reason I am a Cod Head.
