1933: A Fire - and a New Grandstand
By Dick Williams
The opening match of the 1933 - 34 season against Lydney had been postponed owing to the hard state of the ground. Later in the day a fire, which may or may not have started in a circus being held in the club's car park, swept through and destroyed the grandstand. However, in just nine weeks a new stand was planned, erected and completed for use.
