..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself:



It's bloody horrible (I'm the guy stood on the steps in the video btw lol).

Yes we're moving on but HP had so much character... the place always made me feel happy when I turned up there. icon_cry.gif

The scoreboard as gone now, tears in my eyes walking down the bye pass on my way home from work, God i'm a grown man and yet that upset me for the rest of the day.

I've walked through that turnstyle and up those steps so many times I suppose it's maybe the reason I did it. I used to get to the top of the steps and stop for a look around, just as on the video. Old habits and all that. icon_cry.gif

I'm going back again everyday... it's the only way I can come to terms with losing the old place.

I've always been a nostalgic kind of person and I find it hard giving up this place which although ageing badly had so much character.

Of course it is. I have had many happy moments there and many crushing ones.

I,ll miss the place but it,s time to let it go.

I can,t go back to look it,s been where i have spent a good few years over a lifetime of supporting the only team I,ll ever and have been be able to follow with passion.

The memory will live on. Things that are important to an individual do.

I just hope younger fans who perhaps will be there for the first time this season,following the brilliant season ticket initiative feel the same way about the LSV more than half a century from now. icon_cry.gif

How come no-one salvaged the names or the points from the scoreboard?

maybe 'cos the last game ended in defeat

i must admit, i thought it was quite fitting, that if leigh couldn't score the last points at the venue, at least they were scored by a player who will probably have a fifteen year plus career, and hopefully, will take s/l by storm very soon

Obviously you aren't intending using it in a lawn! Even Billy Lea couldn't get the grass to grow on it!! icon_biggrin.gif
