LaticsPete Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 The “new South Stand” as it then was built in 1913. It had 2222 seats. Apparently the terracing in front had 22 steps and had a capacity of 5200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave_Og Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 I'm surprised it still gets a safety certificate. Is there an older stand in use anywhere? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sparkleking Posted August 28, 2019 Share Posted August 28, 2019 Interesting article about the building of the stand here. Apparently the roof of the stand that was there previously was used to cover the Chaddy End. https://playupliverpool.com/1913/08/25/season-preview-191314-oldham-athletic-the-athletic-news/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
