These old stadiums should be kept. I appreciate they are old ladies and don’t hold as many folks as a new stadium would but that’s part of the allure. I been to Highbury, the dell, Upton Park and to emirates, st Mary’s, London stadium and the new stadiums are just lumps of concrete. I hope Chelsea never move etc etc.
but then, I am an old fart with a romantic view of what football should be
on another note, I managed to get my grubby paws on a hot ticket to Aldershot vs Woking FA vase semi final game on the 5th of April. the stadium holds 7000 odd. Woking and Aldershot are 10 miles apart , the olde foe on the field. It’s going to be magnificent in its atmosphere and songs. Football at Aldershot in the terraces reminds me of the 80’s and it’s full on proper pie and pint stuff. Early morning train, hit the cafe for a proper nosh and a mug of tea, hit a pint at stadium and absorb the vibe. Excited about this game like a kid.
Hopefully the shots make the final then off to Wembley I go.
