marshy Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 That sign was a thing of beauty. So wish we'd still got it. Would have stood the test of time. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nero Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 I think that this season, seeing the genuine appreciation of the fans coming to SWFC, many for the first time, has reminded me of what a jewel we have in Hillsborough. I have been pretty ambivalent about moving but I think we get caught up in our own history too much. Its just a fantastic stadium to watch football in and we are lucky to have it. And yes what a sign that was - what a pity we cant get the neon back. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

31Dec1966 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 A night match (preferably a Cup replay) at Hillsborough with that sign was a night to remember. Brings a tear to my eye just thinking about it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BridportOwl Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 When I was a kid in the mid 80's I along with my brother went to see my Dad at the weekends. He still lived in Shiregreen and we lived in Sharrow. If we had been good that weekend he would make two separate journeys on his motorbike via Hillsborough so that me and my brother could see the newer Hillsborough sign. If we had been bad we just got drove home via Pitsmoor. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So i can see why people slag it off when it’s really not up to scratch by today’s standards. I’m not talking large scale renovation You don’t even have to spend that much money to do it up just a little, clean up the roof and get rid of the presto sign on the away end, and chop down all the overgrown foliage around the kop. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
