Old Everton Pictures

Well played - Everton players applaud their U’s counterparts as they leave the pitch at the end of the game as the Colchester players slump off in a 5-0 win for us -

Agreed. I've always seen the replacement stand as an ugly aberration. Can't believe Moores let it progress when it had become obvious that the original cantilever stand couldn't be donecouldn't be done. GP must be the only Directors Box in the country with obstructed views! Unbelievable too in the 50 years since its construction the opportunity was never taken to reconstruct the roofing at least, using modern, lighter building materials that would have allowed the central two roof supports to be removed. It was particularly embarassing at the time when, a couple of years later, Chelsea completed their triple decker Main Stand - complete with unobstructed views.
Of couse it could, it would've added 10% to the £7M though...now, this being Le Ev then and now, hazard a wild guess why it didn't get done...go on take a stab in the dark.
