Terrace? Booking my tickets for the Italy Tonga WC game. Think ive stood in the North stand previously, so unless there is a significant reason not to, I was planning on doing the same again.

Try ringing the club they will advise you. 01422 342792, I doubt there will be any call for the North Stand so Royal Fax above says, try the South Stand, nice bar, good burger van and above all, nice people. If you feel like being a toff, try sitting in the East Stand, excellent viewing.

What a simple but cracking statement HJ.

If it's open, I'd choose the north stand out of nostalgia/novelty factor. The terracing is banked much steeper in that end of the ground.

When I was young I was very foolish, I hadn't seen the light (Rugby League) I stood on the North Bank to watch Town v Birmingham, Trevor Hockey for Birmingham, the following year, I think, Town v Stoke, Gordon Banks in goal, the ground was packed both times. Both cup games.
That's when crowds were crowds!
Showing my age?

Off for my Horlicks, wher'es my slippers?

I've always like the View from the North Terrace, much steeper banking although a little more open to the elements.

My dad was disappointed when the roof went on the North, as him and a few others used to spectate Halifax Town games from the roof of the HBOS carpark
