The stand is magnificent looking. I've never seen a stand like it before. The roof looks like terraced houses
I think I read somewhere that we bought that stand from Aldershot. Might be wrong though.
Sorry, definitely wrong.
The stand was newly built by Humphreys Ltd. in 1921-22.
I am pretty certain that we did buy a stand from Aldershot at one time or another, though which one and at what time I don’t know. Possibly it was just the roof of The North Stand? Maybe the well known and much loved West Stand shown in the photos was built by Humphreys to replace one bought from Aldershot? I’d love to know the answer.🤔

I don't think so. The main stand was the first to be built in 21/22, and the Covered end roof went up in the early 30's, again built from new...There were no other stands.

For those that were there, why were we so rubbish to go 5-1 down at home, and so brilliant to come back and win, was it injuries, dodgy refs or just plain beer?

Do not forget, we also went down to 10 men when Ufton was taken off with his usual dislocated shoulder

I was there and still have the programme. We lost Ufton after about 15 minutes and played with 10 men. Johnny Summers was inspired in the second half and Bill Shankley sulked at the end not giving us any praise.

Bill Shankley sulking is something I somehow can’t imagine.
I was there, half way up the East Terrace with my Dad, a week or so before my 12th birthday. Also still got the programme. How many times since that day, when a match was going wrong, have I wished for a Johnny Summers to come on and nick a goal or 5.

Huddersfield are still the only team in the Football League to score 6 goals and lose.
We also hold the record for highest scoring league draw 6-6 vs Middlesbrough. Only a couple of years after the Huddersfield game. You'd think these sort of results were once in a lifetime moments, but some people would have been at both games.

Daisy scored hat trick for us and Cloughie three for them.

I was lucky to have seen both games. Got Cloughie`s autograph after the 6-6. (made me wait for it as he was talking)

Haha...I bet he did. What a day that must've been!
Stood in the covered end,all the goals in the second half were scored at the opposite end,in a mist,but can still see Ryans winner now .What a player Johnny Summers was,unstoppable when on a run and a left foot like a cannon.
