The Nest, Norwichs stadium from 1908 to 1935. Not sure it would pass health and safety checks these days..

    It was condemned, so it didn’t pass health and safety checks back then either.

    I also like how players had to be ‘brave’ when playing down one particular wing because of the concrete wall right next to the touchline / corner flag.

    The Nest sounds such a great name for a Stadium, compared to Carrow Road… Given the club nickname.

    They’re not there to see the game, that’s just the giddy excitement of Norfolk folk finding a hill.

  4. I’m guessing it’s also economically unviable for wooden matchstick companies to buy a sponsorship these days.

    What I’ve always wondered is why football has so many attend seemingly every game in most divisions but now in this century many clubs don’t fill even their seated stadiums?

    From 100k and so many dozen thousands at every ground to many scraping double digits at all
