Doug Walters Stand, makeshift banner seen in the background

Doug Walters won the hearts and minds of cricket fans that regularly flocked to the Hill. Such was his popularity that in 1975 a fan by the name of Tom Bridges erected a tarpaulin banner proclaiming a shelter near the scoreboard to be the Doug Walters Stand. In 1985 the Trust appropriately named the new hill stand the Doug Walters Stand.
