The Boet Erasmus Stadium was the home of many fine rugby memories and witnessed the glory of Eastern Province rugby – tough men who were afraid of no-one. Renamed Telkom Park in the 90’s the local team never quite attained the heights of the glory days. Come 2009 EP Rugby vacated the Boet and moved to the new Nelson Mandela Bay Stadium built for the FIFA 2010 World Cup. Today the ‘Boet’ is a ruin as the city battles to find a solution. Watch the video and take one last run through the tunnel and onto the field.
