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.
