The Old Lady of Edmiston Drive - Great (Historical) Read.

[Fed Up 211]

A great read - full of information - thanks!

Quick question - anybody know anything about Mr Struth's greenhouse which I believe was built on the grass at the back of Broomloan Road terracing which I understand was there for 30 years or so? I've hunted for a picture of that and can't find anything - thought it might be in the 1927 picture but can't see it. I believe The Manager lived on PRW and had no garden and that why it was put inside The Stadium for his personal use?

Did Bill Struth not say something along the lines of build it well and it will remain when all the others have gone

aye what a great read!

Leitch stands look fine dont they esp with the criss cross balcony thing

i didnt realise that villa had knocked down their own grand old lady

no doubt replaced her with some souless structure full of colourful seats and executive boxes

Brilliant- most educational. Thank you

I'm sure the club could get all that info into a classy frame, with a mount with cut outs for all the pictures/info and display that n the trophy room, i never knew hardly any of that.

Thanks for the comments on the article. One thing I couldn't find out for sure was what became of the Warm Up Area. I'd hazard a guess that it is now where the Food Stalls are that run along the Main Stand at ground level, just as you enter through the turnstiles, but as it was before my time (honest) it really is a guess!

Anyone know for sure?

Cheers!
