Yes Chris Curran scored an injury time winner and the Big Bank was demolished a few days laterI can still remember the euphoria, as sadly finishing above that lot is pretty rare!
Fairly sure it was also the last competitive match in front of the old Big Bank, which is perhaps even more memorable from a ECFC historical perspective
Checking the records we beat Halifax Town 2 - 1 that day.
The BB wasn't "demolished" as such, they just built over the top of it, to save on the costs of removing it and the associated landfill charges. Sadly this prevents us from installing a catering concourse and toilets underneath.Yes Chris Curran scored an injury time winner and the Big Bank was demolished a few days later

Worse than building flats on the car park behind it?It has to be one of the most short sighted decisions in the clubs history.
That sounds a rather delayed (or very long) celebration. Not to mention a tad over enthusiastic.Yes Chris Curran scored an injury time winner and the Big Bank was demolished a few days later
Yep. At least that financed a new stand with integrated facilities.Worse than building flats on the car park behind it?
Not really. The club hadn't even the pot to tinkle into at the time let alone the 50/50 vision to forecast the club would be ten trillion times better managed thirty years later. It was what it wasIt has to be one of the most short sighted decisions in the clubs history.
