The school behind the east stand? : Fri Feb 19, 2016 1:18 pm  

Bizarre question perhaps but as I left hull in 1983 my memory isn't what it was. Is the old decrepit school at the back of the east stand Greatfield HS? Every week it drives me barmy trying to remember....!

I always thought it was Isaac Newton ... from the odd game I played there.
Google maps seem to agree

It was definiteley called Greatfield high school in the 1970's and 1980's.
A lot of high schools in Hull changed their names in later years so it may well have become Isaac Newton at some point.
