Due to erection of cages because of football hooligans who thought it was "cool" to be violent and unruly.

The likes of Green Street and Football Factory are inspiring the next generation of scrotes.

I wonder how much tickets were for sitting on the roof above the terracing!

The supporters asked if they could put them on the slate 🤣

Expensive.  It was around the time ticket prices went through the roof

Anyone got any pics of the old John Lewis restaurant/bar in the Nuttall Stand?  Was in it years ago and met Shearer and the whole team. 

[Mattyblue]

Used to go there for Sunday lunch, Mother’s Day meals etc. Thirty plus years ago the club actually knew how to ‘sweat the assets’…

[Upside Down]

Imagine those people in charge of things now.

Is there any photos of it?  Cant find them anywhere online?   I remember going up the stairs and then there would be tables and chairs on the left and the bar facing you and the windows on the right overlooking the pitch.  McEwans Lager on sale on tap.

Typical Rovers.  They named a bar after a lifelong teetotaller.

Best I could get from a Google search. Distant view of it from the Darwen End plus another view of the entrance (right of the ticket office) from the outside on Nuttall Street. Nothing from inside, unfortunately.

[Nuttall is lost]

Yeah I was looking recently and none to be found anywhere on google.  The only time I've seen it was with my own eyes.

[Herbie6590]

Beamo actually scoring…😆

I never actually knew what that was about. I just thought a Beamo was someone belting it into the top tier, I never knew it was a player.

People still shouting that in the 90s and early 00's.

Great find that, not seen that before.

You'll not see a softer penalty than that.

Great stuff. Good to see film of the Don.

Ronnie Blair, who scored the Oldham goal, was the husband of one of my wife’s teaching colleagues. 

[AllRoverAsia]

Great to see Parkes in action and scoring.

Not sure about this being in front of the Riverside, unless there Is a word missing....

Fabulous find! Can’t imagine Sam Gallagher setting up that first one like The Don did. Both sets of fans mixed in the Darwen End too.

That depends, do people still shout Beamo from the Blackburn End? 

We even used to say it when we were playing on the park, I just thought that was what you said haha.

I still occasionally shout it when I see a particularly classic example. I get some strange looks at Hakin United and Haverfordwest County!!

Brilliant video .... thanks for posting

The legend that was Gerald Sinstadt......."here is a chance now for Oldham to make it 3-1......."

Don Martin was. such a fine player.  Better than Brereton.

Died in November 2009 aged 65. Too young

Whenever Gerald came to Ewood, he was always greeted by a chorus of “Sinstad’s a w*nker” by the Blackburn End faithful. Very unkind in my opinion.
