Would have loved to have stood on the East Terrace, awesome way to watch Football
In the 50s maybe. In the early 80s I didn't find it so inspiring. As a kid I absolutely loved being there, but crowds were low and everything seemed so run down.

Before it closed and we left for Sellout, it had been known on a summers day early season for people to sit or even lay down on the East Terrace and watch the game.

Shabby chic it would be called now! What you say is correct I think, wandering around a ground with a huge capacity with sometimes as few as 4000 odd people in it, was sometimes a less than inspiring experience wasn't it?

The only time in 15 years, that I saw some someone lying on the East Terrace, was after a ruck with Pompey fans :-)

And that of course. Was trying to get across the point how vast and unpopulated the place was towards the end of it's days...
What year was the East stand built? My old man worked on it as builder either 93 or 94 he can't remember. There's some pics in his loft as well I believe will try and dig em out.

Opened 1995 I think so that would be about right.
Would love to see those photos.
In time we want as many photos as possible, from fans or whoever, on the museum site as a permanent record. Like everything it will take time and hard work but we'll get there.
I knew someone that couldn't get a ticket and was watching from outside the ground behind the fence at the top of the East terrace. Don't think he goes anymore though.

It opened for the 1994/95 season if I remember correctly

True, but there was some great gear about in those days.

Work began on the East in Autumn 93 and the first game was the famous 4-3 vs Southend 2 Apr 94
