Those visits did not go without incident for our players 3 got put in jail one night - they did not take kindly to not carrying out the Nazi salute - out for a pint, and arrested I think Dixie was amongst it all - the club got them out of jail within hours after a few bits of pushing and shoving and thrown punches.....- I thin you are right Major it was an attempt for Great Britain to appease Germany at that time....

Are you sure about this date, Joey?

In 1932 Germany was not governed by Hitler and the Third Reich. That only came to pass in January 1933. If it was indeed the game where we refused to do the Nazi salute, then it would be post-January 1933.

It was strange the way the main stand was built in two halves, looking at other photos of it I wondered if the original paddock terracing at the front became the enclosure terracing of the new stand.
Hard lines with the books, maybe you could sell them on

The paddock my older brother told me was fantastic when the lower Bullens stand was not built as the paddock standing went right to the back under the top bullens road stand - handy for a great spec , & staying dry in inclement weather.... upto the mid 1960's?
