The main stand is three-quarters pitch length split between terracing and two rows of white flip seats. Opposite are the team dugouts with the rest of the ground made up of open hard standing, with additional new terracing in the top corner beside the stand.
I picked up 100FgC Squad#138 Lee Stewart at noon, then drove down the A1/M1/M62 then into Brighouse via the A644. Arrived in the town at ten minutes to two and called for a liquid pit stop(and a new ‘Spoons tick) at The Richard Oastler. At the game saw my stalker Paul Brockettt plus 100FgC Squad#183 and Scarborough Athletic supporter Neil Daniel.
