I went down again at lunch time and Shandy Bass was there. I see he's got his photo in one of the local papers as well.



Definitely going down again tomorrow, I just want to see off the old place properly and I'll keep going until there's nothing left

It was for the FC United friendly in 2005; didn't have any photos of the bigger crowds from the Conference games.

He was there when I was there - made me take a photo of him holding up the journal!!

Ironic thing is I don't think he's been to a game for ages unless he went towards end of season last year as he follows Micky Higham around. He's got a Warrington shirt at the minute.

He said he hadn't been to the LSV yet either...

maybe someone put something on facebook that they wanted shandy bass there when it was being demolished


i know there was a site on facebook campaigning for shandy to turn on the christmas lights in leigh town centre, it got over 1000 members


shandy told me he believed the hype, and went to the town hall to inquire when they wanted him!!

when they knock down the ts stand, please look out for the toy car robert lost down the back there two seasons ago.

cheers.

That and the infamous horseshoe!!

Thought that was under the pitch rather than the stand itself?

I actually feel for you guys right now. I can totally imagine how gutting it feels. I'll feel just the same if we ever get our new stadium and The Willows goes.

Even as an opposition supporter who frequently called HP a dump... it's still sad to see.... and feels quite heartbreaking. It's a real RL ground with real RL tradition. I'll miss my visits there.

Sadly that is the way all grounds of this era will go in the next 10 or so years. At least they can't take away our memories

Awaits "[iexcept[/i...."

Don't tease them Matt!!!

Anyone know if there's been much progress today?

The scoreboard's been cremated, and they're removing the asbestos from the Tommy Sale Stand.

Spread it's ashes over the LSV field, says I.

they may get more than 40 games a season out of it by doing that

according to my grandad the horseshoe is under the concrete terracing in the corner between ts terrace and glebe st end and it can stay there he says hahaha

Brought us no luck haha

Today saw the white building at the top of the terraces demolished , this I think was part of the learning centre and also where Turk used to sit with his walkie talkie on match days .

Didn't take em long to flatten it , The last stand and the Tommy Sale terrace been told it will be next week sometime when that goes , still to put a few pics on here yet

When I called this morning, the men in white suits were working on The Tommy Sale Stand - the boards at the top of the stand have been ripped down - including "The Tommy Sale Stand" one - I'd post the pics but I don't know how to do it on here - if someone wants to PM me and explain then I'll post them.

you can direct link from photobucket thenn just copy and paste the img code into the body of the post

had a walk on the NEW halloed turf this morning and the fussball has made a right mess of it and they have another game there next week ban em i SAY ban em

Ok I'll see if this works

" >

A closer view - very sad!

We have?! Better rip up those directions to Ashton, then







That last picture is a gut wrencher, what are they doing to our ground?!

This is one of todays pics - they've almost finished stripping the stand now!

One from the back of the stand.
