Oh the memories, Sea Jay Pea. I used to watch Wimbledon when they were in the Southern League (late 1960s). The North End of the ground was a huge grass bank (before terracing), and it was a nightmare if it had been raining. You could pay your entrance fee ( a couple of shillings, I suppose) and stand at which ever end Wimbledon were attacking, changing ends at half-time. Going, of course, via the burger van (literally a converted 2-berth caravan) which was situated on the half-way line on the East side of the ground. Happy days.

thanx sea jay i saw this 1 already but thanx anyway for the help.

Iams, yeah the good old grounds, how grounds should be remembered and how they gotta bring the good old terracing. I'm a wolves fan and remember going to old south bank and have the press photos off befor, durin and after construction, i been loads of older grounds but i always liked wimbledon as a kid as i liked the way vinnie jones went about his game.
