Yep. And a nice concrete block as a safety fence with a doorway with no kick board to make it easier for a rider to get his footrest in. 

End of the day 45 years ago, can't remember anyone hitting the wooden football dugouts.

In fairness there was never, ever again a crowd like the day Ivan raced at Berwick ... but I take the general point

There were a few big crowds in 70’s,  think Ivan was there more than once,Hull in the inter- league with Barry Briggs,think Scott Autrey,Jimmy MAC we’re there for match races.Crowds averaged 1500-2000 in these days ,you could not get a seat in the Main Stand between starting gate and 1st bend without upsetting a local regular:D

They reckon there was 3000+ that day
