Following a fire which destroyed the original West Stand in September 1956, a public appeal raised £60,000 towards a new one which was opened in August 1957 at a cost of £180,000. The roof of the West Stand has a television commentary gantry and walkway for TV personnel who may be asked to film here on a matchday. The radio and press also have facilities in this stand so they can commentate direct to the public and make notes for their respective papers. This stand houses the Directors Box, where both home and away Team Directors may sit to enjoy the match, plus the Club Doctor.
