    It was asked on another topic if we had a John Charles stand and why we had no statute to him
    Well in 1955 the old west stand of which I was a season ticket holder burnt down the players had to change in the old souvenir shop.I along with the rest of the season ticket holders were moved to the East Stand
    The insurance only covered 120k and the cost was 185k so the shortfall was made up from the sale of John to Italy and has been quite rightly named after John.I hope this answers your queries
    I suppose that a stand is better than a statute

    There appears to be an echo on the forum.
    I could understand that on the deserted wallie forum.
