sidcow Posted September 5, 2016 VT Supporter Share Posted September 5, 2016 Man those pictures bring a tear to my eye. Another thing I have recently remembered is the skill of guessing how long it would take you to get into the ground from the length of the queue, all those people paying cash on the door. Sometimes it would stretch half way down the side of the ground or beyond to get into The Holte. My Wolves mate reminded me the other day of how everyone would do the laurel and hardy tune when the police came out towards the end of the game. I had totally forgotten about that.

Night games always feel a bit more special anyway but there was something enormously atmospheric about those floodlights and I don't think it's just lost youth or nostalgia talking. People who bang on about what an amazing stadium eg The Emirates is just don't get the spirit of the game for me. I would much rather visit Goodison or Ibrox than go to another modern bowl that's a bit more "special" than most modern bowls. Loved going to Swindon away in the cup a couple of years ago, what a dump but definitely a football ground. Not a Stadium. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will never forget Emlyn Hughes shrugging his shoulders (as the 4th went in) at Kevin Keegan..... we didn't just win, we literally blew them away in that first half. It was the most devastating half of football I have ever witnessed from us. That '77 team was the most exciting VT I have ever seen. If we had of had Rimmer instead of Budgie I think we would have won it. Edited September 9, 2016 by TRO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
