A few photos of the Dell and one or two faces you might know.

Great pics, thanks.

 

Only went to a handful of games at the Dell. Pre-season friendlies mostly because they were cheaper. I did however have a birthday party at the Dell, which included a tour and I got to play in that indoor 'pitch'. I had forgotten about it until I saw that photo!

Godfrey the goalkeeper was a small chap, only 5’ 9” apparently. I can’t imagine there are many keepers of that height in top-flight football these days

 

Remember mid'70s in my Panini sticker book Joe Corrigan was the only goalie over 6 foot.

Some cracking photos there. I lived on Malmesbury Road for a couple of years in the early 90s. I used to walk through the Dell car park on every walk into town.

 

Sometimes, there would be a youth game in progress; exit gates were normally open from half time onwards, so you could just walk in for nowt.

 

Used to get in for £3 at "Boys" rate. Once it went all seater, only really went to nomark cup games at the Dell and away games elsewhere.
