Quoted from Poojah


Was knocked down before I was born, unfortunately. Amazing how few pictures there seem to be of it. Have heard so many stories - would be nice to know what it looked like.


If you scroll down page 1 there's a picture of what looks like Andy Gray diving across the front of a Town player and the stand in the background is the Barrett stand. It had "Peter Sheffield Travel in Style" painted on the roof

It was just a big old fashioned wooden structure which was moved from the old Abbey Road stadium in 1898 or whenever.

As I recall there was a previous Pontoon stand wasn't there from pre-1960?? Being from Cleethorpes I always went in the Osmond stand!

STB - that's quality. What year is that?


It's quite possible that the young lads running at the side contain me and my brother.We ran alongside the bus for what seemed like miles.I would have just been coming up to 13 yrs old and my brother 12.

We used to sell the Sports Telegraph in the Barratt stand for a couple of seasons and were let in for free at half time with our bag of papers but i think 72 was the season i stopped doing that and started going to the games from the off.I had a mate who lived in Blundell Ave and we would go to his house and use a ladder to climb over the fence and into the Pontoon stand.It was quite high and had barbed wire on the top,so looking back,it was quite dangerous but it didn't stop us.

The last team photo on this post I am on it and got a right bollocking because I had a slightly different shirt on from the rest of the lads, can anyone spot the difference from the other players.

I covered up for one of the appentices who`s job it was to put the stripp out, got the wrong strip in my place. Brilliant photographs

It's still pretty dangerous these days but it doesn't stop me getting OUT of the Ponton at half time
