๐งต A thread:
The game in the town grew rapidly throughout the early 20th century, as fans filled every nook and cranny.
Many things have changed over the years, but the Main Stand hasnโt. The columns of Accrington brick have stood strong for over a century.
A bond passed down from generation to generation.
Big Joe didnโt nickname it Ice Station Zebra for snow reason!
The FA Cup meant just as much as it does now, with a crowd of over 40,000 eager to witness a giant-killing.
A place of innovation under Bates, the 60s saw executive boxes added.
๐ Itโs been knocked down and re-built many times, but the Chaddy End still holds a special place in our hearts.
As the team went up, so did a new stand. Constructed from the proceeds of the Ford Sporting League in 1971.
๐โโ๏ธ Hands up, who was there?
As football grounds changed, so did the Main Stand. It received a much-needed makeover ahead of the transition to an all-seater stadium.
Three sides or four, thousands of fans still flocked to Boundary Park each week.
Now back in our hands, itโs time to make more memories for fans, young and old. #oafc
