    Premier League Opening Day. I wonder if I will ever again experience an atmosphere like this in my lifetime?

    My cholesterol level was fine 24 years ago, so it must be still fine, right? The doctors must have made a mistake…

    And the scoreboard worked 24 years ago as well :)
    Its not so long since we filled over half though and had to start selling tickets in West Upper B - I think that happened in the Stendell promotion season for at least one game

    And to think that after about 10 minutes we were top of the Prem !!!!!
    We had some saleable assets at that point, Mr Conway.

    I know, as much as I dislike the west stand I do wish it was useable. Having a 3 sided ground just makes us seem utterly tin pot.

    Well, I'm saying 3 sided... There are still loads of folk that somehow are allowed to sit in it...
