Love the lawn fencing! Even a one-legged rabbit could scale that for a pitch invasion!

Are you sure that's 1958? My first game was 1959 and I'm sure the main stand was a lot bigger then. Or maybe they built is especially for me?

As the article says, it was knocked down shortly after this photo was taken.

That is the original stand from 1905. It was demolished 2 months after that picture was taken apparently.

Here's a couple from 1955
One from 1910
One from 1931
One from 'before 1914'
And the Goldstone itself, from 1900

The South and West being built in 1954 + an aerial from 1957
Hang on, those dates can't be right. The one being built is clearly part of the 'new' West Stand, but the aerial view still shows the old West Stand.

Nah, they built it for me, a spotty faced thin streak of piss who had just moved to Hassocks

How can you remember that far back?
Cos I'm an old fart and old farts remember things like that.
Now, where did I put my glasses?

You seem like a nice young feller, maybe you can help me with something else I seem to have forgotten?
Where did I put the Cup Final money?
