And can you remember when the caravans were in the car park and the dons had an ingenious way of getting rid of them

Sorry no it wasnt known as the caravan view stand, if you can remember what type of stand it was & a former chairman of the club it should help you find the answer.
Regarding caravans on the car park was the Dons way way of getting rid of them was to have a circus camped on the car park & two of the lions got loose? it certainly added a new dimension to the players Thursday night training session I have never seen them move so fast since that night.

| Now that I have come down from the ceiling having had my honesty and integrity called into question it's time to mention a few things that can't be looked up on Google. I was over the top with my reaction to Moonlight which I regret but this is a forum and it's open to optimists, pessimists,longstanding members and new.
I can't remember the name of the stand I didn't know it had one,but I can remember it had a narrow snack bar at the back of it just about big enough to swing a cat and you got a drink and a bag of crisps if you were lucky.
People used to sneak in from the back of the stand walking along the bank at the back,some even sneaking in through Chic Booth's scrap yard.
I don't remember Gary Hetherington playing for the Dons but when I first started going it was like watching a band of brothers. The Goodchilds,The Goodyears,The Dflasters (not sure about the spelling) and the Asquiths,one of which hardly ever played a full game as he had a habit of being sent off.
The changing rooms were a hut that sat above the stream in between the ground and the Yarborough and in later years moved to the far corner of the ground to a breeze block affair and it was near there that Jamie Bloem put a player(it may have been Widnes) just about over the fence into orbit.
Many other memories including the circus on the car park and Whitehaven getting changed on the bus in the car park for one game.
That should be enough for now,as to the Dons the question has been answered that the team may be strengthened if necessary but let's see what happens on Sunday first.

You are incorrect the stand I'm refering to didnt have a snack bar at the rear,the only snack bar in this period on that side of the ground was a wooden hut sited at the left hand corner of the ground it was run by Norman Pacey who used to drive his car right up to the hut & unload all the snacks they had for sale & display them in the hut.
There was only one Goodchild & only one Asquith Peter & Bernard were there christian names if either of these two had a brother they never played for the Dons, this is the correct spelling of Pflaster,Peter Goodchild was the first Dons player to play for the Yorkshire County team.
The clue for the nickname the fans called the stand just think of a former chairman of the club & what type of stand it was.

| Sorry but the Dons clearly don't need me or my money as I was refused entry to the bar because I didn't have a season ticket but allowed other people in without one whilst I was stood there

| As anybody listened to the after match interview Paul Cook did on Radio Yorkshire today.
Obviously he spoke about todays game & went on to say that he had a 4 hour meeting with the chief executive last Monday & addressed some issues, he also had a meeting with the players on Tuesday & discussed the mind-set of the players & where they want to be & where they are heading do they want to be part of journey of the club moving forward this year, & in the immediate future & next year with what's happening behind the scenes.
You can listen to the full interview on Radio Yorkshires website
