The first structure on this side of the ground was a small, covered enclosure with a capacity of 1,400. This was replaced in 1927 with a much larger terraced stand, which in 1965, in a FA Cup match against Liverpool, held 16,000 people. In 1978 the terracing at the rear of the stand was levelled and its capacity halved; eventually, in late 1993, the Pop Side was made all-seater. He started to get itchy feet,” explains Phil Brennan, who wrote Bergara’s 2013 biography The Man From Uruguay. Amazingly the following weekend saw him proudly lead his side out at the same venue again, in the Play-off Final against Peterborough United. Bergara was to lead his team out twice more at the World’s most famous stadium over the next two seasons, once each in the Autoglass Trophy and play-off finals. In July 2020; due to the COVID −19 pandemic in the UK, sporting venues had their capacities cut. Edgeley Park capacity was reduced to 2,700. However no fans were allowed into the stadium for the start of the 2020–21 season. This did not stop the stadium being redeveloped with new seating put into the Railway End, and new external cladding added to the Cheadle End. In six fantastic years from 1989 to 1995, Danny led County to promotion as runners up from the old Fourth division and to Wembley finals on no less than four separate occasions!

Danny Bergara: The pioneering trailblazer who became England

The first game saw England draw 2–2 with a Manchester City XI, and the second saw the England senior side defeat the England U23 side 1–0. In this Spanish name, the first or paternal surname is Bergaraand the second or maternal family name is Medina. Danny Bergara The Railway End, at the east end of the stadium, is a former uncovered terrace that at one time could hold up to 6,000. In 2001, it was the last part of Edgeley Park to be converted to seating, thus making the ground all-seated, and it is now generally used to house away supporters. Still open to the elements, and with a capacity of around 1,366, the Railway End is currently the smallest of all stands in the ground. The stadium scoreboard is located at the rear of the Railway End.He got in touch with Luton because he wanted to train with the team to keep fit, but they initially said that he couldn’t. But Danny became friends with Paddy Sowden [Luton’s chief scout] and he saw these scrapbooks Jan had kept of Danny playing in Spain, which is when Paddy realised how good a player he was. So Paddy told the club they had to get Danny in – they wanted to sign him as a player at first.” Daniel Alberto Bergara de Medina ( Montevideo, Uruguay, 24 de julio de 1942 - Londres, Inglaterra, 25 de julio de 2007) fue un futbolista y entrenador uruguayo. Jugaba de delantero y su primer club fue el Racing de Montevideo.

Spells with Rotherham and Doncaster followed with little success, before Bergara disappeared into the shadows once more, working as a scout for Sunderland and Wolves right up until a short illness claimed his life just one day after his 65th birthday in 2007. Yet while the Uruguayan wasn’t part of the foreign legion’s Premier League boom of the late 1990s, there’s no doubt his prior impact softened opinions towards overseas coaches. Whether he would be happy to admit it or not, Bergara led the way for the glut of overseas coaches in Britain. And while his name is not as well known as some of the megastars who followed in his wake, his work played a notable role in what they’re doing now. Not bad for a lorry loader. In the two decades prior to his arrival at Edgeley Park in 1989, The Hatters had never won more games than they had lost, never scored more goals than they conceded, and never finished above 11th position in the basement division. The following six seasons would see the club’s supporters enjoy a constant feast of ‘play-offs’, promotions and Wembley Finals. The Vernon stand also homes the gantry for the club where all the footage for the club is recorded and where commentary takes place. Dopo una stagione come vice di David Pleat in prima divisione allo Sheffield Wednesday, Bergara nella stagione 1996-1997 allena il Rotherham Utd, in terza divisione; dopo una sola stagione lascia però il club e passa al Doncaster, altro club della medesima categoria, che però lo esonera pochi mesi dopo averlo assunto. All'inizio della stagione 1998-1999 si accasa infine al Grantham Town, club neopromosso nella Premier Division della Southern Football League (sesta divisione); dopo pochi mesi lascia però l'incarico, rimanendo comunque al club con un ruolo dirigenziale fino al termine della stagione. In seguito lavora anche come osservatore per il Sunderland, senza comunque ricoprire altri incarichi come allenatore.A consultation is in place to increase the capacity of the stadium to 20,000 from the 10,841 that it currently holds. However, all development will be dependent on how the club performs in the league. Phase One will replace the East Stand (or Railway End) from the current 1,366 seats (without a roof) to approximately 4,500 seats (with roof). This will make it similar to the existing West Stand (or Cheadle End) albeit with a slightly lower capacity. Plans are for construction to start in 2023. Phase Two will be to rebuild the South Stand (otherwise the Pop Side, Family Stand or Barlow Stand), increasing the stand's capacity from 2,411 to 6,500 seats. Phase Three relates to the Main Stand (the Danny Bergara Stand) and would expand the existing stand to the full length of the pitch. This would mean an increase in capacity from just over 2,000 to around 3,500 seats.

While Bergara was registered as a lorry loader after moving to the UK with his English wife, his actual job was completely different. Instead of working for a haulage company owned by the Luton Town chairman, he plied his trade at Kenilworth Road as the Hatters’ youth team coach. The original Cheadle End, built in 1923, was a small covered terrace of largely timber construction, with room for around 3,000 people. It was made all-seater in 1967, and its capacity was cut to 1,100. This stand was demolished in 1985, after the Bradford City stadium fire, and replaced by seven steps of shallow uncovered terracing which held only a small number of supporters. However, for the 10 years that it existed, this terrace was extremely popular with County fans because of its traditional feel. Netting was controversially placed in front of the terrace during the late 1980s; after the disaster at Hillsborough Stadium in 1989 the netting was removed. For the 1998–99 season, he was named manager of Grantham Town, who had just won promotion to the Southern League Premier Division. A string of poor results saw Bergara become the club's Director of Football and the club's Chief Scout, Tony Kenworthy, becoming manager. Later he scouted for Sunderland.

When the Uruguay Under-21 international first moved to Britain, he had just come to the end of a successful playing career and was a well-known name in Spain’s La Liga, having plundered nearly a century of goals while making hundreds of appearances for Real Mallorca, Sevilla and Tenerife. He was even approached to play for Barcelona on a couple of occasions, but a move never came to fruition.

Following the Bradford City stadium fire in 1985, work began to remove all wooden structures and standing terraces from the stadium, which drastically reduced the capacity, but increased safety and ensured that the ground complied to Football League regulations. This work was eventually full completed by 2001. The Railway End being the last stand to be converted from a standing terrace to seating.

After two years working for England, Bergara found himself out of a job when Sheffield United were relegated to the fourth tier. The club management job he craved took a further five years to materialise, and Brennan believes Bergara’s nationality played a part. Tras su retiro, comenzó entrenando las divisiones juveniles del Luton Town, luego fue ayudante de campo de otros equipos, incluso de la primera división como el Sheffield United. Su buen desempeño lo llevó a integrar el equipo técnico de la selección de Inglaterra sub 20. Posteriormente, entrenó a la Selección de fútbol de Brunéi.
