AP before the gates

I believe,like the clock that was on top of the north stand they were a gift for being one of the '66 world cup hosts.
The Ayresome Park gates were installed around 1964
The club, on hearing the news they were successful in staging the 1966 world cup approached to buy Shaws club from the owners, which was just outside the stadium gates

No, you could be right gizboro, the club were informsd in 1964 they were to stage the world cup in 66 & were given loans, i think from the FA to carry out alterations, thw gates may have been part of that
 
all these years I thought when I first went in 1969 that the gates were always there ... now I can see they were only three years old
