It was in, below East Stand.

A venue for live bands, parties etc will be included in new stadium for sure.
I have been to a function at the Exeter Chiefs RFU stadium and it was very good, and that was 20 years ago so designs must have moved on.

I'm sure that there was a night called funny skins.

Bit dingey and it had like army netting up around the ceiling etc.

Thats if my memory isn't playing up, which does happen.

Always more men than women. As a female in her teens it was great - plenty of SUFC supporters and sometimes players were there. My best friend and I still remember it fondly nearly 50 years on !

I have a distant memory of Barrow away on the Grimms coach. It left around 4.00 in the morning. We met in the spread till closing time before moving to the nightclub underneath the east stand.
My lasting memory was of the coach driver not wanting to stop for a toilet break.
