Overview

• Ian Nutter, 65, created a six-seat viewing box in his Barnoldswick garden so he can watch matches with his grandsons.
• He says safety drove the project after noticing a reported 15‑foot drop beyond the garden fence near the pitch.
• A structural engineer produced the plans, and Nutter oversaw a six‑week build with four apprentices.
• The stand uses a steel frame set in concrete with wooden panelling, an aluminium roof and toughened glass at the front.
• Nutter reports the £5,000 mini‑stand is regularly used, the club chairman gave his blessing, and visiting fans sometimes chant in good humour; Barnoldswick Town tickets are about £7 with a £120 season ticket.
