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.

Now that somehow is more poignant than photos, by the way dya wanna job on Sunday afternoons, the pays non exsistent, you get stick for being a freeloader, but you do get the best view in the house

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.

Here are some photos I took on 4th August 2008 of the old place. www.ziddu.com/download/3492329/H ... k.zip.html This is a zip file of approx 10 meg.

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

The Queen is dead long live the King. You can take away the ground but you cant take away the memories.

We dug up the centre spot from the pitch yesterday . looks lovely in my garden .

come on folks cheer up!

how me mocked when central park went.....

Went to the old Ground today , scoreboard had already gone (yesterday) , just concrete terracing , Tommy Sale Terrace Stand and the White Learning centre building / stewards building that are still standing .

Saw the outdoor food place Belly Busters get crushed , only half the pitch remains , rest is soil and rubble .
Took some pics will try and get a few on here soon.

Booked the day off work to pay my respects, so to speak. Heartbreaking. Didn't get any pictures that are particularly different to the ones on here, though I did get one later in the day when driving down Atherleigh Way (the lights were on red, before anyone mentions owt!) and it's very strange having an unhindered view of the Tommy Sale Stand
