    I know this was on here the other day but I've had a few glasses of vino and I'm on my phone so looking it up would take a whole five minutes, at least. Since when, exactly, has the Oak Road entrance been as its current configuration.

    Asking for supporters of other clubs who should know better, although I appreciate that it hasn't always been the allocated away section.

    Cheers, Jim

      Depends what you mean by “configuration”

      I definitely went to watch a game in there when it was all (supposedly) Luton fans in late 80s/early 90s which we won 2-1.

      There was a long time after that when the whole Oak Road was away fans, and they only let Luton fans in on certain occasions. I went to a game there in that end v Colchester (2-2) during one of those occasions and we were treated to “Where were you when we were shit!” chants from the main stand.

      If you are talking about the structure itself, that’s probably one for RADSB and you should have addressed your original post to him 🙂

        Yeah, I'm pretty sure I've only ever known it to be away fans which, in itself, is going back at least twenty-five years. Which is quite enough for almost everyone but the top six to not be surprised by the fact that we play in a haunted ammonia factory accessed by a frayed rope-bridge, etc...

        I'll take a stab at 1938.

          My point being that it's been rather too long for people to, now, be taking the piss as if we don't belong. Although the caveat about away fans having not had to experience it for quite as long is perhaps something of an excuse.

          Cheers, Jim

            According to a recent newspaper article, Roger Wash mentioned that the club appropriated the gardens when the Oak Road terrace was extended in the early 50s. So it would be then.

              When were the houses built in the first place? I'm assuming the ground in its earliest form pre-dates that?

                First entrance under the houses drilled through in 1938 when the Oak Road end was roofed - the bottom one where the away supporters currently enter.
                The second (top) one was put in in 1956 when the end was extended to its current height.
                Many years of top flight football since then as stated earlier!

                  Thanks. To be fair, if they're all incredulous that it is as it is in the first place, they're not going to know that it hasn't been like that for away fans for eighty-five years.

                  Which would be a touch disingenuous but fuck them for being condescending in the first place.

                  My favourite, recent, one was a Middlesbrough fan questioning if our ticket office was a caravan. Imagine being so poor that a portacabin was actually akin to a caravan.
