I wonder who among us were born furthest from the ground. 300 miles away for me.

Possible our friends across the Atlantic or down under.

Anyone old enough to remember DC looking like this?

Can’t remember the ground looking like the above - but it’s a bit scary reflecting on how long I’ve been watching the chez.
This Echo cutting, featuring me and my Portchester mates going to a cup game is from Jan 1968.

500 metres for me - and quite a few others I suspect!!

Taken early Seventies? i don't recognise the structure to the left. Old DCSC building?

Memories… the car park sweepers day off as well.

Techinally yes because the New Stand was "developed" in 1964 but I can't remember.

When I started going in the mid 70s, we use to go in the BBE, obviously there were away fans there, but also some home fans. No idea why we went in that end, but I guess they didn't segregate fans then.

Guessing with the size of the crowd, the Worthington advert, and the relative lack of fenced off areas, this was the 98/99 season?

Close - it was the next season. Picture taken on the 6th of May 2000. Our opponents that day were Wigan.

I remember the game. Seem to recall we threw away a two goal lead.

Incredible to think the whole ground would have been a pile of rubble 12 months later.

My earliest Dean Court memories are standing on the BBE too, would have been late 60s.
