That's fantastic! Never seen the Barrett Stand like that. Thank you


And you never will, Oldun is right that's the Mainstand, the white boards segregating the sitting and standing areas give it away.

Sorry, it's a pity there just never seems to be a decent picture of the Barrett,very frustrating.

Tell you a story about the Barratt stand Town were having a dreadful season around about 1967 or could have been two seasons before Laurie Mac came to the club.

We were playing against Crewe Alexandra and were losing and the gate was only around 2000
The Barrat stand was practically empty the ball went into the Barrat after being knocked out for a throw in by a Crewe player.
Nobody would throw the ball back so I had to jump in the stand and go to the top where supporters were keeping the ball in protest with the poor way we were playing.

Just has I got to this guy who was holding the ball his mate grabbed the ball and kicked it back onto the pitch.
Never felt so humilated in my young life as I did then. Never will forget  the jeering Town supporters that day, but then again they were really putting up with a load of rubbish every week and did not deserve to be.

I think we had to apply for relection that year and not long after that we started to get gates of fifteen to twenty thousand and it seemed that most were in the Barratt stand.

Someone has been at work with Photoshop

That's the Pontoon and the Mainstand reversed. There has always been a covered corner between the Osmond and main stand.

Whilst we're in the nostalgia mood the following music brings back memories. It was used by YTV in the late 1970's for their Sunday afternoon football highlights show 'The Big Game'. I remember one featured game against Sheffield Wednesday that was basically Bobby Cummings versus Terry Curran.



Mr McGee, don't make me angry. You wouldn't like me when I'm angry.
