Mark Davies - A love Letter to Football

[chickenrunner]

I am likely to have a copy on my bookshelves by the end of the season.

Quiz question - What season was the photo taken on the front cover?

The photo pre-dates the TV gantry on the South Stand roof 'cos that had 2 steel supports from the front edge of the roof. Any idea when the gantry was built?

Was it about 1975-76?

Mark's first game at Ayresome was 1973 so it would be fit.

My first game also in 1973/74 season but I only seem to remember North Stand having a red roof. That's probably not correct but just how my own memory has been formed !!!

Think the tv gantry was opened early in the 74 75 season

Yes, it was opened for the first season in the top flight under Charlton - 1974/5
