No chance of that.The rafters may have burnt but the rest of it wouldnt have!!!

The stand was soaked with stale pi55!! The best fire prevention method known to man!!

I liked the characters who used to p1ss on your back when you were a little kid or stubbed their cigs out in the trilby of the old fella at the front. Ahhh, those were the days...

talking of throwing coins on the pitch remember when the collection of the day walked round the edge of the pitch with the big bed sheet to catch the monies in & after a few people taking "pot shots" at em they started to weaqr motor bike helmets!!

Without doubt the stand and its characters are sadly missed,but stories will be told for years to come.
I miss the place but accept that the club would not be were we are now had we stayed.Unfortunately time moves on,memories will fade and the new generation will wonder what all the fuss was about.My memories are all good ones,there were characters at all 4 sides of the old place but none as memorable as in 3d,s.

Can you imagine in 20/30 years time 'Chav Corner' reminissing about the time they were thrown out for smuggling in a can of Fosters





.....Don't know they're born

How about the mad hatters tea party.

I'm going back to late 70's early 80's here, but can anyone remember a fan from the Threepenny's running onto the pitch to clock the ref, at the restart after a dodgy try was given against us? I remember it as clear as day, but cant remember the ref or who we was playing!

Cant remeber who the ref was on that occasion but Billy Thomson used to run out ,turn his back on the stand and give us the V,s behind his back.The ref who got clocked was probably Stan Wall,he hated us for some reason,cant think why....

Remember a lad out of threepenny stand pouring the trainers bucket of water over Peter Fox's head after he had been winding the Hull fans up.After that they took the dug outs to the best stand side.

The same Stan Wall who always used to run out with Sean Long's kicking tee,don't know what's happened to him now.

Class, we always tried to mimic it even upto a few years ago, but to no avail!

Marcus was a legend

He was how can i put this........a young man with severe learning disabilities......pc enough??? (dead ringer for lee crooks he was too)

I rememeber one game he tried to ride his shiny red chopper ( a bicycle ) through threepenny stand when it was rammed to the rafters. When his route came to an end about half way line he tried to reverse it but someone had popped a brick behind his back wheel. WHOOPS A DAISY over he went. Luckily his swearing was blocked out by thousands peeing themselves laughing. MAGIC

he still sits with us in the east stand, maybe get him to do a rendition at the derby

must be your topic mate

not seen you post so much on here for ages

Go for it, we'll join in, I think we are not far above you lot!

Only post when I think I have something to offer the debate....or take the pi$$!!
Must admit I have a in depth knowledge on this subject tho

Nope, the exact opposite. They scored from a blatant double movement, just after they got a previous try from a dodgy forward pass. Second time around, the Hull fans behind the stand lost it, and in the ensuing crowd surge, the wooden advertising hoardings (that were pretending to be safety barriers) gave way, resulting in 1 broken leg, a few arrests and a brief pause in proceedings while order was restored. The only Hull arrest, if I recall, was for the aforementioned camera incident. All the other arrests were Keighley fans. The headlines the next day were full of garbage about Hull fans rioting, as we knew they would be, even though it was a load of old claptrap.

Anyway, back on topic. Whatever happened to Sharon? She had a habit of waiting until the quietest part of the game, before shouting some unprintable expletive at the top of her voice. Often, completely made-up, meaningless, expletives.

I miss the old Threepenny.

Apart from the old Racist comments that people seem so fond of remembering. Glad that's changed - different times now, fortunately!

I remember Marcus, wasn't sure at first until you mentioned he was a bungalow nut, ge gobbed at me once on my way to Boulevard library when I was about 9, kn0b.
I rarely went into threepennies and only when I was about 13, when I first started going on my own I was 10('79) I favoured standing near the speedway gates or on the little brick ledge near the corner flag. Always seemed a lot warmer in the 3d stand though(sans Pi55)

Remember the team doing a lap of honour after the championship win in 83 and there was Marcus riding round the speedway track on his chopper knocking down anyone in his path

oops!

I was 7 anyway so no wonder i cant remember properly!

Schofield very rarely played on Threepenny's side,maybe he got a cosier reception from the main stand


As for Barends he usually had a tropical fruit hamper waiting for him in Threepenny's

summarally dealt with by a couple of Cas players before a couple of police officers strolled on and scraped him up

Was reading an old article on Brian Noble from his playing days and his favourite other ground was The Boulevard.He said he liked the atmosphere of the place

I remember going into the Threepenny stand in the late 70's early 80's when I was around 10 years old. I would stand with my Dad near the half way line and always behind us was a man everyone refered to as 'THE GOB'. He was tall and thin with long scruffy hair and i think he had a beard. He always wore a blue denim jacket with a faded Hull shirt underneath. This fella had a really deep gruff voice and always had the fans around him laughing out loud. He said the funniest things and his insults towards the opposition made me laugh even though I didn't always know what he meant. Whenever I think about the old Threepenny stand The Gob and the burning of Rovers scalves always come to mind.
