Don’t think you can. Maybe the back but not the sides. It’s still down as a temporary roof as far as I’m aware that restricts what you can do structurally. May have changed but I doubt it.

| Quote Redscat="Redscat"Don't like going on about the good old days (I do actually), but if you were around then, the roar from the old south stand when full made Sunday's roar sound like a whisper. Good to hear though!
'" Loudest roar from the South Stand for me was when David Smith broke from his own line and went full length of the pitch, Jsnuary 1 1976 v Featherstone Rovers, to score the winning try, a win that briefly took us to the top of the league.

I just started watching around that time. Don't think I ever went in it.
When did it come down? I remember seeing it.

That match sticks in my mind too. Thanks for the additional info. I could recall it was against Fev, but couldn't recall the details.

Would have been sometime around the date that STB refers to above. The infamous "Bill Ashurst wall" was built on the vacant space and he was here 1978/79

| Lot of emotion on and off the pitch when that DG flew over from Miller. The North Stand can be a conservative place at times but not in that moment. Pure explosion of joy

Remember that well, wasn't there a bit of a snowstorm during the game?

The reason it was demolished was to allow the pitch to be moved to accommodate a new supermarket behind the North Stand. It was during the Trevor Woodward era I believe, unfortunately you will notice no supermarket so we did our bit too early. The year I cannot remember but definitely a long time ago.

Correct and this one act undoubtedly started the club's real decline. Very early 80's I think?

Almost on the money, the Club were going to have a new stadium where the Asda is now down by Pugney's, the Asda Supermarket was going to be built on BV.

I could be mistaken, but I’m sure the stand was dismantled and sold to another rugby league club, York springs to mind, perhaps other long in the tooth fans may remember

Think you're wrong though it was before my time. I believe the roof was sold to a framer in Pontefract to use as a barn.
