Or the ones in the corner of the Pop and CE. Bloody awful, I recall, just a sloping half pipe fixed to some corrugated iron wall. Piss and cigars were the smells I remember from Friday nights back then. If it wasn’t for the pleasant aroma of cigars, it would’ve been unbearable. WI guess that was fairly normal back then. Yep bloody awful especially on Friday nights when it was pitch black, a splash in pi55 getting to them as well. I think the worst toilets I've ever been to were at Treyew Road, Truro City's (now gone) ground. Some sort of brick and concrete hit where you could barley see! The smell was reminiscent of the toilets at the top of the Acropolis in Athens!

Wrexham linked with another big lad, Stephen Humphrys from Wigan. Bit surprised as what they lack is pace unless they've given on Palmer and Dalby, who their fans haven't been impressed with lately. Fletcher is never going to play 90 mins week in, week out. Be surprised if they don't bring in 2 players from leagues above. It's their M.O. Seem to have decided that's the only way to improve. Their fans have never rated Dalby. I’m not sure Palmer has ever recaptured his form when he first signed for them, even last season I don’t think he was as good. Which is weird as he was doing a job for Wimbledon in League One and their form dropped off a cliff when he left.

Think it’s probably all catching up with him.

Hence Leeds paying a large fee for him when he left. That's the trouble. He's only ever been a prospect. No pace, doesn't score enough & never managed to find a starting roll at a club. One day he might find a club in L2 where it clicks, but I kind of doubt it. I can see him being a January transfer for a desperate club till the end of his career now.

"A bag will hold a minimum value of £20 and will contain four items such as pies, burgers and pasties." To be fair, there’s no hot food left by halftime at EP, let alone after the match! I saw an away fan's report on EP recently where they were being offered pies for free on the way out of the ground.

On the basis of his loan period with us, I'm surprised how well he's done at Wrexham.

But, the worst I ever saw were the ones at the Darwin End at Blackburn before they built that snazzy new stand. Pi55 running out of the bottom and running under the burger van. Horrendous.

If you are really bursting those at bradford p.a. are bad as you have to wait your turn if two go in before you. For a smell millmoor must have been the worst and thats if you were first in. However there is nothing worse than portaloos no matter where they are found.

Honestly, they are still better than the ones that used to be at the old RE. Or the ones in the corner of the Pop and CE. Bloody awful, I recall, just a sloping half pipe fixed to some corrugated iron wall. Piss and cigars were the smells I remember from Friday nights back then. If it wasn’t for the pleasant aroma of cigars, it would’ve been unbearable. I guess that was fairly normal back then. Just been reading Steve Massey's autobiography and he talks about having to guard a hole in the fence at the back of the Railway end on match days and it got me remembering in the mid seventies about the ladder over the fence from the reservoirs into the corner behind the toilets between the RE and Pop side. Once over the fence we use to walk into the rear entry of the toilets and brazenly walk out the front..................

Putting it about a bit with the ladies (despite family man image), rather large bar bill in the Hotel he's staying at, barred from a couple of local hostelries.

Yes, but there's probably more chance of me becoming Pope than Sutton beating Mansfield....😳
