| Quote vastman="vastman"Correct and this one act undoubtedly started the club's real decline. Very early 80's I think?'"
Definitely pre 1980, vasty. As I mentioned above, Ashurst didn't join us until 1978/79 season and the stand had been cleared before then.

Was it still up in 79 when we went to Wembley?

| Just looked in the Mike Rylance history of Trinity book and there is an action photo taken in 1977 showing Graham Idle and Toppo and in the background is the south stand showing the terracing and barriers. I would say it was demolished very soon after that photo. whilst Ashurst was with the club he reportedly built a low concrete block wall along that end of the pitch on the site of the former south stand. It was jokingly referred to as the "Bill Ashurst Stand" so it must have been demolished slightly prior to the 1979 Wembley final.

On the Trinity heritage site there's photos of the south stand. One from the opening of the floodlights in 1967 and one dated 1978.

| Yes i think 77/78 was when it was demolished. However things back then were different. The demolistion took place during a season and i am sure you could still use that end at the time. I am certain i stood on the terrace once the roof had been removed.

| Quote Dunkirk Spirit="Dunkirk Spirit"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

Yes it was intended to go to York at the time

| September 2013 during Liam Kay's first stint with us. What a match that was. I suggest you Google it and read the write up or look on you tube.

Pre TJ, probably one of the best SL tries scored at BV. About 2013 as Redscats says.

| I think the James Evans try in 2006 to keep us up and send Cas down was pretty loud.

One of the best endings to a game involving Trinity. Chase ran the ball on the last tackle, got flattened by Lauititi and lost the ball, Ali picked it up and fed Kay who sprint 50 m or so to win! He then left for Leigh!
