I can assure you Wynonie there was still a stand there, there was some fire damage, even more when we got started because we burnt everything on site, we were there about a week, in fact my neighbour was also on that job too, be came and cut the metal work with an acetylene torch, The Stand at the Burnley Road side had already been dismantled at the time
