South stand was demolished in 79, I heard they were going to build a Tesco there or some rubbish but it never happened.
Dunno who's special project that was, it sounds daft enough to actually be true...lol

The concrete blockwork boundary wall at the rear of where the south stand used to be (now the flats) was allegedly erected by the legendary second-rower Bill Ashurst during his tenure at Trinity. It was affectionately referred to as "The Bill Ashurst Stand" by some fans.

It was in open rugby magazine many years ago! Think i may have saved the copy as it told the history of our ground.

That’s because it’s not true :-).

The stand roof was used to make a ‘Dutch’ barn by a farmer in Pontefract or that’s the story I’ve been told by numerous people.

It was close though in a Chinese whispers kind of way.

:lol: Never heard it described like that before but a very apt description in the old days. Doesn't happen now but had some good times as kids playing in 6 foot high foam drifts at the front of Allinsons mill.

Yeah remember an article mentioning the cycle track, wasn't the track laid on ash which was contaminated with arsenic or some such thing, that's what makes BV very difficult to re develop?
