When were these photos taken at the Goldstone ?

[Eeyore]

It was still being built. The first game that the stand was opened and in use was the league game against Barnsley on October 20 1984.

Ah yes. I think we may lost 1-0. Fog of memory, mind.

Sept 84 Lge Cup game v Aldershot roof was on The North Stand.

Didn't we lose that over the two legs ?

Love the way the guy, centre right in the top picture, is looking a bit worried as he squares up one on one with the long haired guy whilst his two mates behind him steam confident that they will then be involved in three against one. Brave lads!

The bloke you mention was as game as they come mate, and as I've mentioned he died this morning.

0-0, as was the next home game against Man City (with a 0-0 at Shrewsbury in between!). In fact, the first home win after the stand opened wasn't until the 2-1 against Wimbledon on Dec 29.

I stand corrected ,I thought the roof was on but no home fans in it .so as you say building work must have been going on.

This is correct. Remember the foam hands they gave everyone going in? Terrible game, most ended up strewn across the penalty box afterwards!
