They don’t make stadiums like this anymore. No wonder it would never get a safety certificate. It’s the fence that I’m concerned about, the stand looks pretty solid. Found this one by chance in the Tameside Archives, and the club is Denton FC in the 1900’s. For those of you who missed that geography lesson Denton is east of Manchester. When Britain had industries then Denton, like Stockport and Luton made hats for people in this photograph. None of this or the club exist anymore.
Don’t know anything about Denton FC except they were beaten by Newton Heath 7-1 in the Manchester Cup final in 1888. Newton Heath became Manchester United and Denton didn’t.
