My name is Stat Brother and I have a confession to make...

... writing a reply to the violence thread, I was just suddenly struck by the fact I never stood on the East Terrace at the Goldstone.

I know I spent time in all aspects of the West.
Obviously I ventured into the North, numerous times.
I'm pretty sure I sat in the South, once or twice.
But I know I never watched from the East Terrace.

I'm feeling a little deflated now, I think I need a lay down

No one cares though.

You missed a zillion cup of tea from the shack at the top, or in my much younger days of Glen Wilson and Jim Langley a bottle of pop and a packet of Smiths with the little blue bag, courtesy of Uncle Stan my Seagulls mentor. :thumbsup:

Only watched from the chicken run while they were re-building the North stand.

I never saw a game from the south, however used to sit in them all during school lunch breaks watching Frankie do his gardening

One of my many not very good claims to fame, was being at the front of the East stand, only a few feet from Kenny Dalglish as he took a throw in during the game v Liverpool when they came back to draw after Albion went 2-0 up half time in 80's.

Best view in the Goldstone and now you will never experience it. Just thought I would rub it in.

I always remember that game as being with an orange ball!

Please add me to the list of dull posters. Sadly I find Stat Brother to be one of my favourite posters. How weird must that be ?

You never got soaking wet at The Goldstone then?

Walsall from the east terrace
7-0
and got soaked to the skin and well worth it

An interesting thread. I did manage to try out all parts of the Goldstone, except the Lego Stand. But I possibly had more time at it, what with going since the late 50's.

Even with the Amex built, I still hate having to pass the commercial zone that pinched the Goldstone site.

I was thinking the same here about different parts of The Goldstone, and I never saw a game from the Lego Stand.

The northern end of the West Stand terracing was open, I'd have got pretty wet there, on occasion.

People tend to forget just how little of the pitch you could see at the really big games
