The home end was the Osmond at the time.


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

It was Furneux that gave the Pontoon to away fans that season.

After all these years and we still haven't learnt the art of not giving free kicks away on the edge of our own area.

I remember being right behind the goal but even on pause can't see myself.
Oh for those days.
It's a shame really, the atmosphere was oozing from the telly.

Don't think it was Ferneux that made that decision, but Carr and Ramsden. They thought that the acoustics were better in the Osmond stand.

In all my years watching Town that was probably the only game that we lost that I really enjoyed.

We had been talking about having the home fans in the Osmond for a while before that game,

The thought was if a hundred or so away fans can out shout the home fans of 2,000+ because of the shape of the roof we should change ends, It did not last long as the fans wanted to return to the Ponny.

I was sat with the wife at the back of the Osmond and although it was an exciting game it was bloody freezing, The pitch which was normal in those days was very poor don't you think ?

My grandad is 88 and doesn't really remember much these days, but does remember the Town teams of the 40's and always says he used to stand in the Cleethorpes end, or behind the Cleethorpes goal when he was a kid. I'm assuming he's referring to he Osmond or whatever it was called back then...was there a time back then our home fans were in that stand? Or is that pre-segregation?

Town fans stood in the main part of the Osmond behind the goal when the away followings were sparse as I recall 70s and 80s? The away fans would stand in the cage between the osmond and main and be seated in the top of the osmond.

and prior to that the number of away fans was very limited and it was common for Town fans to change ends at half time depending on which way we were kicking. There was little or no segregation at that time

I've got it in my head that my first game I was stood at the Osmond end (left of the goal). That was the Donny game in August 1971 that ended 4-3. Might be a false memory, but don't think it was the Pontoon even though that was clearly the home end then. (And no smartalecs, I'm not from Donny!)


Through the door there came familiar laughter,
I saw your face and heard you call my name.
Oh my friend we're older but no wiser,
For in our hearts the dreams are still the same.

There was no segregation in the 50's and early 60's to the best of my memory,

I can not remember when segregation came in Sam.

I can remember the mid to late 60s when there was no segregation.  Away fans always seem to end up in the Osmond. It was this time that the skinheads started and the Grimsby bootboys started to follow Town. Doncaster brought several thousand fans for a Tuesday night game. For the second half they were kicking towards the pontoon so they all walked across the pitch and tried to get in the pontoon. All hell broke loose as you can imagine and try as they did not one Donny fan got into the pontoon and were chased back to the Osmond. It was after that segregation started to be enforced.

Remember a cup tie against Burnley in he early seventies, there fans walked in the ground between the main and the Pontoon, thought they could just walk in but a surge from reward soon sent them to the Osmond. Also Leighton James had a stormer, a proper winger.
