Didn't Barrow have covered accomodation on all four sides in the 80's?

Ah, forgot about Barrow.

started watching oldham late 80's. did the stand opposite the main stand once have cover? if so why did the get rid of it? or did it just fall down like the rest of it?

Yes. It must have been taken down for safety reasons. Was just the terracing left as there was a proper stand containing seating at one time? To be frank, neither of the side grandstands looked particularly safe by the 80s. I remember at one game a spectator was taken ill in the grandstand and the stretcher was passed over the heads of people in the paddock below. Scary stuff.
