A couple of great finds those images.
In the 1920 image there’s a small(ish) covered stand alongside the Collingwood Rec side - was this considered our Main Stand in those times?

from the 1920 image there appears to be no way through from Gander Green Lane (could be covered by trees I suppose). However there appears to be (larger than now) turnstiles at the Collingwood Road end. I wonder if this was the main (or only) way in then?

Took me a while to get my bearings there. Of course at the time it was the Borough Sports Ground with running track around the field.

A possibility it was Clary. When did Ted come on the scene? |

It's actually 2 small stands next to each other. They were still there in the 70's. For those who possess the ‘United in Pictures’ book, there are a couple of photos in the first few pages that show those two little stands, packed full of spectators. The photos were taken at the home game with Carshalton on 4/10/47. |
