Title: Perceptions
Post by: Mrs Warbouys on September 16, 2012, 08:02:14 PM: Personally I'd class a runnIng track,a portacabin, one stand and a random detached house as disappointing, what was he expecting??

"A curious experience. Expensive admission to a disapointing stadium although the pitch appeared very good"

so long as he pays at the gate I don't mind what he says!

So that evens it up a bit.

As you say though, what was he expecting.

I always loved that Park Avenue had the cricket ground, but wasn't three sided. Proper stadium.

Yes, went to that one. Wasn't Laurie Brown our player/manager then? Could be mistaken about that though as he came from BPA too I think and was their manager when the dropped out of the FL I believe.
Remember being really impressed by the raised pitch like OT, the nice programme (still got it) and the view through the back of the main stand over the cricket ground!
Happy days!

You're correct MG.
Brown was Alty manager the previous year (i.e. Aug 69 to Sept 70) that would mean also that he wasn't with BPA when they left the league
