The Wales v Scotland bit from 1877 is a great read.

Especially the warm reception given to the scots, yet a complete opposite to one received, against England previously. And what is/was a corner try? Bit later it quotes a corner kick so am guessing they were different things.

I think the pitch orientation turn around may well be put to bed now. Must be a local myth...certainly understanding that the grandstand, was there before the football actually started and not the other way around, makes sense.

I was under the impression that the stand was built specifically for the football and thus the pitch was changed around after the completion of the stand. Makes sense now.
