This is roughly the view I had when I attended my first ever match in 1963. How the Milton end changed in the ensuing 40 odd years. Gone are the chocolate boxes and the ‘Toomers’ sign. Those terraces, although comparatively small by other club’s standards, could ‘heave’ along with the best of them and it was where most small boys wanted to stand, moving further back as they grew older. One thing that didn’t change was the weird shape with the far end stretching back a long way while the near end is just a few rows deep.
