that is my favourite not for the foreground but the background as my grandparents used to live just off to the left down Victoria st and i remember climbing up and down the footbridge as a kid every sat when we went.

At the moment (as Fred says its a work in progress) it is a number of nostalgic stills of the ground being built as well as some other photos of I guess some of the people involved.
By the way, Great piano playing Fred
Also does anyone know the year the picture is from with Eddie Wareing on?
I am guessing 49/50 but if it was when the the ground was opened it would have to be 1947?

AJM said it was MacDonald Bailey and I said he was talking out of his backside!!
Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting. George Orwell

AJM talking out of his rear NO NEVER
As he is on both the pictures Im assuming that it was a posed shot on the grand opening in 1947.
If anyone has anymore of the stadium being built and crowd shots from the years and if Mismash could send me a few of her demolishing photos
I can continue with it.
