Reflections on the County Ground Swindon to be published in due course

..

The North (Main) Stand at the County Ground. On each of my visits I sat in the upper section on the right hand side of the photo.

..

The Shrivenham Road Stand, built on a couple of years before my first visit. It replaced a far more interesting structure which had previously seen service at the Aldershot Tattoo

..

The Town End for the home fans

..

Seating, open to the elements, for the visitors on the Stratton Bank. I imagine that prior to the installation of seats this was a pretty good terrace
