I was speaking to the foreman today and he said that the Tommy Sale stand won't be coming down until next week when they have cleared all the asbestos from it - it may even be as late as next Friday. Anyway he said he will call me as soon as he knows for sure, so as soon as I find out I will post and let you all know.

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



I went down again at lunch time and Shandy Bass was there. I see he's got his photo in one of the local papers as well. icon_lol.gif

Definitely going down again tomorrow, I just want to see off the old place properly and I'll keep going until there's nothing left icon_smile.gif

Ironic thing is I don't think he's been to a game for ages unless he went towards end of season last year as he follows Micky Higham around. He's got a Warrington shirt at the minute.

He said he hadn't been to the LSV yet either... icon_eek.gif

Thought that was under the pitch rather than the stand itself?

I actually feel for you guys right now. I can totally imagine how gutting it feels. I'll feel just the same if we ever get our new stadium and The Willows goes.

Even as an opposition supporter who frequently called HP a dump... it's still sad to see.... and feels quite heartbreaking. It's a real RL ground with real RL tradition. I'll miss my visits there.

Sadly that is the way all grounds of this era will go in the next 10 or so years. At least they can't take away our memories
