The Geordies bover boots were lined up on the top of the wall as the police made them take them off on entry. Those were the days!

It always seemed a bit of a waste in the early 90’s giving over the most modern up to date part of the ground to accommodate 20 Torquay fans on a Tuesday night !

The only one I can think of was Middlesborough when we played them in the cup in the early 70s. The game Smallman scored the winner. I think they had the kop given to them.

Sorry Techender Wrexham fans had the kop. Remember being wet on 1 side and dry the other as i could only get half under the busfields in the first half!

Back in the day the away end always changed at half time.

They gave some of the Kop to England for the game that Wales won 4-1. England had just said they were going to get rid of the home internationals because Wales and N. Ireland weren't good enough

Best away support I ever remember was Man City on Boxing Day backing in the late 90's ( I think ) ...they packed the tech end think they brought nearly 3000
