City is on the brink of another leap for the Prem. Everyone needs to hold their nerves and trust SB and the Allams. Remember how far City has come: http://www.28dayslater.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/9679-Boothferry-Park-Hull-19-02-06?highlight=hull
Puts everything into perspective really. When I think of all the games I've watched there and some brilliant atmospheres to boot, it really does bring it home what changes we've been through.
Really is a sorry sight, and the pitch in it pomp was one of the best surfaces in the football league. I played on it a couple of times, and it really was a pleasure to play on.
Brings a tear to the eye. My first visit in 1957, came in at the corner of the North Stand and the pitch looked like a billiard table, Bunkers hill opposite - best stand to the right. It was only many years after it looked tired and dated. Sad to see these pictures. Deserved a better end than it did.
I will never forget the memories standing in the terraces with my granddad as a youngster. Sadly he has alzheimer's now so unfortunately he will not remember but I'm sure those pictures would have brought a smile to his face.
A sad end as it was falling apart but I've memories that will still with me forever, started going in 1985 with my dad Who's 86 now he lives in a home on bev rd, glad he saw us reach the top flight and still mentions back in his day when Carter was player/manager, I started going on my own and with friends from 1986 onwards and got the buzz then, we had McEwan and Skipper in the heart of the defence, marshaled by Sir Tony Norman, Bobby Doyle, Garreth Roberts and Askew in the middle pumping balls to Frankie Bunn, and at first Whitehurst then it was Saville, don't think the latter did too well really but had a good career at Preston, I loved those years when we first had Brian Horton, I was the only person that witnessed the bollocking he gave to the players the night we played Swindon, the night he was sacked, I was waiting for them all to come out for autographs and heard Horton shouting, I remember when we beat Aston Villa when they was in the old 2nd division 2-1 and getting told of by Graham Taylor after the game for butting into his conversation with his wife to sign my programme, he said 'do I not like that'! We also had good players I thought back then, as well as the above mentioned we had Jobson, Heard, Swann, Parker, Dyer, Palmer, good times.
