Nah - The back was above street level - if you think hard about it, when you came in at the right hand side (as you look at it from in the shed looking towards the pitch) there were the ratty, smelly gents toilets to the right and then you went up a flight of low steps to get into the shed and then had to turn left (through a metal gateway?) and step a few more low steps to get to the back of the shed - all the time trying to walk properly so that the coppers didn't see the Leeds colours painted walking stick you had down the leg of your trousers (anyone else remember them?) and then along the walkway to the back of the shed - or actually when you were a little 'un you could go across the terraces as you liked because you had to fall in the doors to get a place at the back wall, there was no one else there yet, and the coppers were forever trying to move you on when you did get there, but you hung on grimly....
Until the teams came out, and then everything was great.... Ahhhhh they don't make it like that any more do they?

You mean that sort of ledge which was only the depth (of the width) of one housebrick. If it wasn't for that ledge none of us kids would have seen anything. I think it was only there to reinforce the bottom of the back wall. Was the pitch lower than it is today ? The back of the shed was at road level, from memory. _______________________________________________ the Leeds List is an unmoderated mailing list and the list administrators accept no liability for the personal views and opinions of contributors.
