Very sad sight .

How wierd, at the end of the Catalans game, I took a long final look around at the old girl and I didn't feel much emotion, perhaps it was because it hadn't quite sunk in that I would never stand behind the sticks in front of the club again. That picture though, has brought a lump to my throat and a tear to my eye.......gone but never, ever forgotten.

Strange feeling seeing that

FFS
Get a grip.
I was sad at the last game at the Willows as I knew I would not be going to the old ground again and would miss all the good times I had there.
Life moves on.
The club is in financial freefall, players leaving left right and centre and people are worried about the roof coming off the shed.
Reality check needed methinks

I bet you're great at funerals.

I think certain parts of the Willows would have fallen down before long anyway.

Sentimental issues aside there's very little I miss about the old place, p1$$ing into a drain, Normal Collieresque sound, the inability to get past the tunnel until the players had left the field and general shabbyness will never be missed. Naturally there are certain things that will be but life goes on and all good things come to an end but the memories will always be with us.

......... Against a souless tin shed in the middle of nowhere.

There's no-one more grounded in reality than me, sir, it was just a bit of nostalgia that hadn't really hit me until I saw the picture! Nothing to see here, move along.

Bet when people first moved into the Willows there was a certain amount of dissatisfaction about things.

I personally think the atmosphere has got much better over the past few games, the stadium management company has started to get it right with the fans bar (should the new room be made permanent and become more clubhouse like pretty sure we'd all be happy) and a place gains a soul over time as memories are created and legends born.

I agree with the rest of the post, but I'm not too sure about this bit hopefully though!

Aye Moon definitely has all the makings of a Salford legend. When I read that though, I was thinking more along the lines of an all-time great like, off the top of my head, Mal Meninga

top of my head, would have been, David Watkins, Maurice Richards, Colin Dixon. Mike Coulman, Chris Hesketh, Paul Charlton, Eric Prescott, Kenny Gill, Keith Fielding

Life and soul of the party i heard.

If I may chip in?
When the Boulevard closed there were a lot of memories went with it.Standing in the Threepenny Stand was an experience in itself. Whilst it was sad it going, in truth it was a relic from the past.The K.C. as a venue is streets ahead.People will always have fond memories of old grounds,but moving into the 21st century is the way forward.
