Surely the exterior of the Lepp just needs a couple if coats of paint. Its hasnt changed for 40 plus years. This should be a Wednesdayite initiative.

Lord Snooty Posted September 2, 2014 Share Posted September 2, 2014 Only seems two minutes since they were handing out badges to celebrate 100 years at Hillsborough v Everton. Was just thinking similarly about the roof going on the Kop. Seems like yesterday to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow i think it's just inappropriate to be celebrating Hillsborough Stadium's Birthday while the Hillsborough inquest is ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
