Used to love going there with palace, decrepit terrace, crumbling brick $hithouse and dodgy burger outlet at the back, palace everywhere including up trees behind!

Yes I remember it ! I recall the "Cuckoo Lane End". When I first went there, Gerry Summers was the manager.

This photo is from our game there on 19th March 1977. Nicky Chatterton is our player, Doris is in the background. Peter Houseman, the ex Chelsea player, was in their team and he sadly died in a car crash on his way home after the game.

Nicky Chatterton - Len our groundsman's son! Len was famous for building the "flatterer" a converted fiat car into a pitch roller (mark I) and a VW Beetle (mark II) in the 70's. He used to drive it onto the pitch amidst howls of laughter from the away fans... the VW broke down once and took ages to get it restarted and off the pitch!

Dr Martin's boots, levi jeans, monkey jacket and your scarf tied round your wrist as you went into battle on the terraces! Scary at times, but exciting too. You could never relax and watch the game 100% - you had to keep an eye out for an ambush.
