What was the name of the player (from Hull methinks), who lived in the West terrace boxes?

Danny Brough?

Steve Snitch, that's him.
Just looked his profile up on wiki, it says that he was born in Kingston upon Hull.

We did seem to know more about the academy lads in those days. Snitch was labelled as being from Hull and I recall Chris Feather and Tommy Haughey being from Keighley.

Yes they seemed to be a lot more 'high profile' back then.
I've got a brochure type thing somewhere with biogs, I think.
It was used as a sponsorship raising venture for a trip to Oz, along with something in McD's in town and another running sponsored event at the ground.

The final capacity of BV as a whole will be 7600. That is actually over 2000 more than we started this season with. So think on, for all the ridiculous IMO moaning and pettiness that’s a massive leap in so many ways.

The capacity after the redevelopment will by 7600? I thought that was roughly what we were already at anyway?

I believe that earlier this year, the council H&S reduced the capacity of the North Stand to 1500, therefore reducing the ground capacity to less than 6,000. The new terracing North Stand will increase the capacity back up to the 7600 mark.

I guess Ted was trying to increase their market value.

I didn't realise that, thank you.

There was a period when one of the cabins on the west terrace was kitted out with tables and seating and used as extra viewing space.Entry was by steps at the back and a small bar was provided.It was a great spot to view the match through the windows on cold days, but,on the down side,most of the atmosphere from the terracing was lost.Then one day we were denied access by the stewards and told it had been handed to over to the ex players association, no explanation, nothing!

Just had a quick look, we had over 7k in for the Wigan game?
