New grounds success or disaster?

I'm confused... his post doesn't show it's been edited so I'm not sure where you're getting Bolton from.

Maybe they were querying Burton having standing. In which case yes, 3 of the 4 sides are terraced in fact.

I think it was like the first league stadium to be built in 50 years at the time or something.

Yeah, I think Boothferry Park and Vale Park were the previous "new grounds" in the Football League to be built before Glanford Park!

I wikied, it it was Roots Hall in the 50's, Glanford was in the 80s

Ah yes, forgot about them.
Roots Hall certainly doesn't look new nowadays!

Well I guess 1955 means it was built around the same time as our main stand, back when Andrew Jenkins first sat on the CUFC board of directors, looked around him and thought 'this is the way this club should always be run'.

Last Saturday there were more Derby fans in the Burton areas than Burton fans.

Where did you read this gem?

Everyone knows half of burton season ticket holders are ram’s fans who bought a season ticket so they were guaranteed a ticket for Saturday’s game.
