Hi,

I'd appreciate some help, i'm after some pics of Cennie Park around the early 1900's.

Many Thanks and appreciation.

Jeff

I don't recognise that one, but certainly pre-1954, when the Kop was covered.

Wasn't the kop just an old coal pile?

Pretty much, yeah, as was the Popular Stand side. They used old railway sleepers to square it into steps for terracing.

Those were the days, I cant say I have ever really taken to the JJB Stadium. It would be great to have our own ground again
