..... 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 icon_cry.gif

Drove past the ground last night, I could only see the Tommy Sale stand and the score board. Felt a bit sad myself and havent been going anywhere near as long as nearly all of you on this forum so god knows how some of you are feeling.....

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] [b:5a56um9q]George Orwell [/b:5a56um9q] [i:5a56um9q]There are none so blind as those who will not see.

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! icon_sad.gif
