Reflections on The Northolme to be published in due course

A magnificent structure – the Main Stand at The Northolme. A traditional barrel-roof, and I struggle to think of another ground which still has one

The North Terrace, a good cover running the length of the pitch

The West Terrace at The Northolme – always our ‘home’ on visits there. In the corner is ‘Scubbys’ – purveyor of fine catering….

Scubby’s on a fine April day in April 2017. Jeff and myself in the foreground on the right. I took to wearing an old England cricket shirt sufficiently large enough to accommodate the weight gain caused by 4 months of the chemo regime I had been on. And it shows around the waistline!
