I hitched it to Scarborough in the late 60s to see our reserves. Only got to York, then caught a train. The Owls were so surprised they brought me and my friend back on the team bus.

Coventry - Highfield Rd Swansea - Vetch Field Reading - Elm Park It's amazing how many clubs have moved to new grounds in the last 30 years or so. Some from very famous grounds. I think it's time we also moved to a better stadium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some from very famous grounds. I think it's time we also moved to a better stadium. With two exceptions, every club in the football league has built a new ground or at least one new stand in the last 30 years. QPR last built a new stand in 1981. The other exception is us, we haven't built a new stand since 1965. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
