The correct spelling is prima donna Nick. No need for capitals either. It means first lady in Italian,although it has come to mean something else when used in English, and as foreign words they should strictly speaking be in italics. Are you a teacher ? No,just a retired bloke with time on his hands.

Andy. The best ever football bet is "endings to clubs" I have won hundreds of pounds on that bet and I have only met one person who got all the answers in the allotted time. Back in the Summer I asked 6 lads all from the local football club to put a tenner in each and I would cover the bet. I won. The question. Name the 22 endings to football clubs in the top 4 divisions eg. City, Town, United etc within 10 mins. Even if you say 5 mins young lads are super confident they can get them all. After 30 mins and collecting the money I had to tell them the last 2. There are no tricks its a genuine question. See if you can do it without looking at league tables. The younger the lads you bet against the better as they are woefully informed about clubs in League's one & Two. City. Town. United. Rovers. Albion. County. Forest. Hotspur. Argyle. Stanley. Athletic. (11) Wednesday. Palace. North End. Alexander. Vale. Dons. Wanderers. Villa. (8) 19/22 in 10 mins ? Alexandra.

Modest looking crowd in the background. Not much in the way of stadium safety back in the '50s. My dad always maintained that Glazzard was the best centre forward he ever saw.

Palace and Vale don't count. Port Vale does because it comes from Burslem port vale; but where is crystal? He didn't say they had to be place names, just club names. If we included ex League Clubs there are another 9 - New Brighton Tower, Gainsborough Trinity, Burton Swifts, Middlesbrough Ironopolis, Stalybridge Celtic, South Shields, Wigan Borough, Northwich Victoria and Merthyr Tydfil. You can't include Park Avenue, the official club name was always Bradford F.C. Park Avenue was added unofficially by people to make it clear they were not referring to City.

Why no Diamonds, Northfleet or Redbridge? (was Harriers mentioned earlier?)

Modest looking crowd in the background. Not much in the way of stadium safety back in the '50s. My dad always maintained that Glazzard was the best centre forward he ever saw. The East Terrace was 126 steps from top to bottom. The roof was constructed two years after that photo was taken.

Raith Rovers play at Kircaldy, saw a match there once. The thing about scotland clubs there are loads of clubs with no such place. I work regular in perth( st jonstone) & coatbridge( Albion rovers). I also did go to watch Raith once while working in kircaldy against local rivals cowdenbeath, must of been 200 there.

The East Terrace was 126 steps from top to bottom. The roof was constructed two years after that photo was taken. At the highest point? It started to get smaller about three quarters of the way on, towards the Leeds Road Cowshed end.

So did mine and at least I got to see him play but too young to appreciate how good he was .Fabulous Green grocer though when he retired just a very lovely man.

Yes. so guessing that each step going is approx 18 inches the back step would be roughly 60 yards from the fence. It would be interesting to know how this compares to the big side terraces of the past: Maine Road St Andrew's The Valley Turf Moor and to compare it to the big behind goal terraces: Villa Park Molinuex
