Hi everyone, Just wanted to know where everyone stood or sat during the magical times at the victoria ground? I sat on the railing's at the bottom of the boothen end peering through the bars untill i was brave enough to venture to the back! Then i stood to the left of the police box untill the sad day it closed. (boo hoo).

I started off in the boothen paddock standing right by the dugout, even sat in there a couple of times with Macari, Bates and grimmes against Torquay when we beat em 3-0. Bertie and stein came off with 10 or 15 minutes to go and took me for a tour around the ground.
Then moved to the boothen end ofr a season and then went in the butler Street for the last few seasons.
God they were the good old days ;D

I sat in the boothen satnd behing the dugout right by the directors area, on the second row for the last season there.
The season before that i went everygmae without a season ticket and sat aabout midway up just to the left o centrew and sat by some men whenever i could go.
Before that i just went occasional games in different places of the boothen satnd.
I can barely remember it i was only about 8 but i remember on the last season the man infront of me took his seat apprt gradually.

I stood on the back wall of the Boothen End, slap bang in the centre of the goal, there was a pillar on the back wall, and we stood either side of that, sometimes swinging off the girder.
My Flag was hung from the Girder at head hight on the back wall quite often, and was known by the regulars as "steino's target"
I think it was pillar C we were in line with.

I used to stand just to the right of post C near the back of the Boothen end with my dad and uncles. Many happy memories being stood there.
Always stood in the same place for years.
I agree with you britsho it did always seem cosy even in mid-winter!

Started with my Dad in the old Stoke End before the new stand. Moved to the Boothen Paddock (Stoke End), then Boothen Paddock (Bothen End).
Graduated to Boothen End when I stopped going with my Dad. Usually stood in the middle, arriving just on kick-off and pushing your way in there.
definetely the good old days.
