What a journey!It’s good that they have given us the East Stand, no stupid pillars to dodge. :cheer:Last time I went to Bury we were behind the goal, Is that the East?
We are in the East Stand the one that just has BFC in the seats. In past years this was the home end. On some photos its called the Cemetery End. The one that used to house the away support was the Manchester Road End, that is the one with the pillars.

What a journey!Back in the 80’s & 90’s the Cemetery End was the away end, been there a few times, remember one game where the CE was the away stand when it chucked it down (Boxing Day I think) and in that game sure Mark Leonard hit a shot from six yards out that hit a puddle and barely made it in the net and Neil Rimmer chipped the keeper from 30 yards, Latics fans celebrate, ball lands in puddle, keeper (Alan Kelly?) bends down and picks it up to the general astonishment of everyone in the ground
Remember the rain day so well. Never seen a game played in such conditions but both farcical and fantastic entertainment at the same time. I think I re-call watching Latics on three of the four sides. Why do sone people pronounce Bury, Barry?

The thing I remember is that we insisted (even back in those days) of passing the ball along the back four – with obvious results.

Proper end to end, blood, guts, thunder & mud football.
I always used his goal as an example of how poor Mark Leonard was – open goal, no-one between him & the net & about 6 yards out on a swimming pool of a pitch. All he had to do was kick the ball off the floor and he decides to side foot it along the deck with predictable results which allowed at least one (possibly 2) Bury players to get back & hack the ball away. I never thought that it had crossed the line to be honest but thankfully the liner had other ideas.
After that I don’t think he scored again for the best part of a year despite being our main forwardThere was a game v Bury late 80s early 90s played in a monsoon at Springfield, I’ve got a papier mâché programme somewhere to prove it.
My memory is chronic but there was a Bury away, think it was 2-2 with a screamer from either Ashton lad Alan Johnson or Alan Tankard.
Think we took more that spent the game on the fence than what we’ll take tomorrow. Some cracking away followings.

Cheers JR, we were behind the other goal last time I went to Bury.
I hope we have more fans in the stand than flags, that photo looks eerie. :evil:
