That's a view from the Ossie End. Boy's pen was in the Normo End. You're right about the Ley Stand though, that was still a couple of years away Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mozza Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 I beg to differ @Grimbeard and @uttoxram75 surely that pic is taken from the Normanton end with the Popside to the left under the Ley Stand and ossie end in distance?

Help me out @King Kevin I think a bit of mid age confusion is creeping in, ossie End had the clock, pop side was to the left, looking from Normanton End popside was on the right, come on you know that ?

Help me out @King Kevin Sorry mozza, but the picture was taken from just below the large half time score board between the Ossie Stand and the Ley Stand,as @Grimbeardand @uttoxram75indicate. Unless of course they moved it after I finished using it to go to the Popside c 1955...…! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That view is etched in my memory mozza. The away fans in the mid 70's were in the Colombo part of the Popside and the Derby lads in the Ossie were segregated from them by a single fence. There were many exchanges of pleasantries between the two in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent a few seasons in there, thinking now I don't know what was going through my head standing in the middle of two blood thirsty sets of fans in the mid eighties early nineties!

In later years moved to the middle of the Popside. Usually tried to stand to one side of one of the support columns holding up the stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind admitting, we'd all but got promoted when I was in the Boys pen, so only saw about the last 4 home games from there. 69/70 season onwards i became Popsider till mid -80s, then moved behind Tosh in the Ley Stand.
