That is true you could, one end in particular was uncovered,whilst the other(the toke end) was partially covered by a small shed but the view wasn't to bad as I remember.
However, the old Boulevard wasn't much different from the current south stand at Craven park in relation to the distance from the pitch side, the only probable difference been the terracing was at a slightly steeper angle at the Gordon street end.

Surely you mean the tote end?

Place was a sheethole but infinitely better than the current caravan park for watching a game.

Biggest difference now is the fans are in separate stands whereas in the good old days you could mix. I remember watching derbies in the "popular" stand at the old CP and in the east stand at the current one. Much better atmosphere

Once we sort a decent standing terrace with a roof and extend the final part of the east stand we'll have a really cracking little quaint ground. Rumours afoot that the plans are too be shortly announced which would really finish off the ground.

The fans that go in there every other week enjoy the high up view. You get a great picture of plays forming and get a much better understanding of how teams play. Don't know why you have a downer on it I've watched many an academy game from there and never had a problem with the view or facilities. Granted it could be wider which would improve it massively but it isn't shocking.

Restricted view seat?

Is that like the box with iron girders in the windows?
