TL Dallas

Been in there loads of times over the years in the old shed.Poor view but loads of noise. Ipswich was memorable but I always thought we were doomed due to Hendrie being sent off at Man City and being unable to play.

Some great games from that shed, Spurs in the cup,1969, Bournemouth, 8-1 crazy game, 7-0 up at half time! Trouble was all the goals went in at Kop end and only managed one in front of us.The old Midland road stand was a joke.Bodged up and tarmac as the floor.When you look at how the ground used to be and how it is now,we certainly made improvements!

 

opened in 91?

 

Occasionally went in when it was the Bradford End; my only time in the TL Dallas was a charity game held to raise some cash during one of the administrations, might be going in again soon!

 

Sat in there twice. First time was towards the front of the lower tier not long after it had first opened sometime late 91 early 92. I was one of the penalty takers for my school when they used to have the half time penalty shoot outs so they sat us in there before taking us on at half time. Paul Deo who used to do the tannoy announcement at city was our teacher (the chap who Villa complained about after the first leg of the league cup semi final). Appalling view .

Second time was just after we’d won at Wembley in 96 and we played Feyenoord in a friendly. We went in the upper tier. Superb view spoiled by limited leg room

 

I went in a fair few times during that season when we had home fans in there, in League 2 about 10 years ago now.

Felt like an away match but at home, atmosphere generated sounded decent in there, I liked the view, but the facilities are abysmal!

 

Lots of times when it was the Bradford End and the away fans were mostly in the split down the middle Kop. Only once since it's been like it currently is, versus Oxford in the promotion to the Prem season, I think.
