Can’t remember a roar that load for years just brilliant

I sit in the East stand, between the 30, 40,lines south end, when Miller kicked the ball, there seemed to be a moment’s pause in silence, then that mighty roar as you say, it was quite amazing, and why listened Sunday night, to the radio Leeds catch up commentary of the game that roar sounds even more amazing. A really good moment to witness.

I went with some extended family. 2 were Hull fans and the rest were new to the game.
The new ones are now Wakefield fans even though some are based in Essex and some in Wigan.
It's amazing what a win against the odds does. I'm sure it was the atmosphere and excitement at the end that hooked them.
Not so much the Hull fans.

Were? They’re not anymore?

Lol. I think they were finding it hard on the day after being smuggly confident up to half time but they'll stick with them I'm sure.

That roof has made a heck of a difference to the game day atmosphere.

Looking forward to the upcoming improvements.

I’ve always said enclosing the back and sides would improve it even more

If we cant get excited and make some noise for a finish like that, it's time to give up.
There are no drugs on the planet that can give you that kind of "high" and to think that the alternative was day 4 of the Jubilee.

Belle Vue wins every time

Well said T, and thanks for the lift pal.

Liam Kay's match winner vs Cas will take some beating.

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!

Loved the South Stand atmosphere. Packed to the rafters.

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.

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.

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.
