Accrington - Which Stand Were You In? - Did You Get Wet?

[Brauny Blue]

Does anyone else remember a game at the old Elm park, Reading where it peed down all afternoon. A local shopkeeper was selling black bin bags at about 20p each for us to wear on the open terrace!

Arthur Daley:icon_lol:

They closed the gate so no-one else could go through.

Didn't you think of going through the gate when it was open before the match started, when it was obvious it was going to rain?

It wasn't THAT bad, was far worse at Pompey and Man City.

After 55 years, Pompey have finally put a roof on the Milton End. :icon_wink At Man City's new-un, if you are on the first few rows. You are soaked. Every time I have been Man City it's pissed it down. It's my most attended Leicester fixture

Yea thats a good idea, it wouldnt block the persons view behind you would it.

It didnt even rain that much, was a good night out regardless of the performance.

It's common practice at most open air grounds. If the terracing is stepped and the shortarses are the front, it should be no probelm.
