Well that photo is from when they put the seats in.

That was the time we introduced the £50 Leigh weekly draw and we signed those South African players-Moody Botha and Bonzear.

Remember my mam winning it once and I do not think she had ever had so much money in her hand at one time.

She bought a shed for the back yard.

Who would have thought I would have ended up in the posh part of Salford.

My dad has often told the story of the smaller stand being brought from Mather Lane by fans of the club, post by post. Oh, and about the cinders at the ends. And of how long it was since the scoreboard clock ever worked for more than 3 matches in a row, but I honestly doubt he's old enough to remember THAT one...

Here's one of it being built.

You are correct but we signed a South African at the time name of Moody and his first game was in our A team 4000 turned up to see it.

If only we could get 4,000 to turn up for the first team now eh Frank.

By rights there is no way on Gods earth stand should have stayed upright for as long as it did

Its obvious there was no HSE in those days too

Great Pictures them Mish.

Have you got more? Maybe put them on a a 'sticky ?'

Whats it's constructed of is a concern today. Maybe thats why it was last thing to come down.

most of them are online somewhere Snowy

My God I miss that place... sooooo many great victories and memories

Which isn't necessarily a bad thing...was absolute bedlam when Turley missed - sorry, kicked - that goal against London. Was rocking for the win against Wakefield as well.
