Nice photos!

I'm sure the following link has been posted on here before, but for anyone who has not previously seen it, it is an old newsreel film from an FA Cup game v Chelsea in the early '30s. The camera is positioned within the old main stand, so obviously that side of the ground is out of shot, but clearly visible are The Cowsheds, Borough Road Side & Kop, along with the old changing rooms located on the Borough Road / Prenton Road West corner.

Yes, I spotted that last night too! The car would have just turned right from Borough Road and was heading up Prenton Road West. Some folk kicking a leather spheroid around, which distracted somewhat.

I remembered reading something about the wartime bomb and the Borough Road stand in one of last season's programmes. I've dug it out and scanned the relevant page.

It's from the Programme for the game v. Sheffield Wednesday played 15th February 2011. More important than the article though, we won 3-0 smile

There was a full article on the Borough Road Stand in yesterday's match-day programme. I won't put it up unless the OP asks, because I partly suspect he wrote it, given the coincidental timing of the original request and the fact the OPs previous posts have all been about TRFC
