..... and I'll be standing in the Hilton Park stand, yes that's right I've named the North Stand myself: |
|
| I'm going for a look tomorrow before the entire thing has been pulled down.... it's heartbreaking.
People can say what they want about moving on but for alot of us it's been our lives for so long.
Bye, bye old friend  |

Sad sad sad, first went there in 1981.
Does anyone know if there is anyone writing the history of the ground?

I don't actually feel that sad, had some great times there but its a bit like moving to a better house, with renewed hope and looking forward to making new memories.

What a fine structure that was, particularly when bearing in mind that it was at Mather Lane for ? years before it got to HP!

[i:5a56um9q]Serious sport has nothing to do with fair play. It is bound up with hatred, jealousy, boastfulness, disregard of all rules and sadistic pleasure in witnessing violence. In other words, it is war minus the shooting.[/i:5a56um9q]

| I've taken more photos today but they seem to be just clearing the site so I'll wait until they take down the Tommy Sale stand and post them all together - I'll be going every day until it's all gone! |
