Very shortly we will see work commence on knocking down the brick Oakes Stand, which has stood since the 1950s I believe. Initially Fencing will be erected around the stand prior to work starting. The stand will be replaced on the same footprint by a modern stand with, initially, 75 seats.

The picture, from 1967, shows a few famous faces receiving the Durham Senior cup. What are your memories of watching games from the Oakes Stand?
