Any former residents of Fonthill Road/Goldstone Lane out there?

I think I watched a game from that house as a kid once in the late 70s. Where you there then? I think the person I was with knew the owner.

86ish

No, it would have been 79/80 I think. I think my dad was skint so we had to do the cheap option. Being only 10 I couldn't see the South East corner at all!

Would have been like having your own private box. Fantastic view.

Can remember back in the eighties, I couldn't get a ticket for a home game against Leeds. Managed to pursuade a chap if l could view the game from his front garden in Golstone Lane.

Alan Biley scored in a 1-1 draw if l remember rightly.

Rev... how did you cope watching THAT massacre unfold on a daily basis?

Judging by his posts over the years, he didn't.

Coincidentally I walked down Goldstone Lane today and was amazed that the original 'perimeter wall' was still there. They are digging up a big area behind/and or on the site of the South Stand. Goldstone 2?

Fairly sure it's going to be apartments.

That is not the original wall.
