Just watched it again, I had forgot how good this is.

Goosebumps and shivers throughout, the odd tear and lump in the throat, all set to an apt and fantastically chosen song.

Never Forget

Cheers Mishmash

Very sad to watch, especially as this ground was still better than some SL grounds

Yes but you should see the one we have now. Its better than any SL ground. I joke you not.

Tongue in cheek there I think. KC stadium is probably the best in any division. Ours is probably too small to compare with the modern stadi like the Galpharm and the Pie Dome.

Ah but (tongue in cheek) I dont class them as SL grounds but football grounds. And I am totaly biased because its in Leigh. As my accountant Peter says "it's Lancashire hidden gem".

I wouldn't say better than any, but I'd say better than most. LSV, in my opinion, is better than :-

Bradford, Castleford, Catalans, Celtic, Hull KR, Leeds, Saints, Salford, Wakefield!

So 9 out of 14 ain't too bad! I'd say LSV is on a par with others! It's definately SL standard!

are we comparing size with quality?
quality wise its as good if not better than the galpharm or HJ but size is a different matter

Size isn't everything, eh Fred?......it's how you use it that counts!!



...and whether people admire it when they see it!!

Ask any lady, a nice, shiny small one is better that a big ugly one any day of the week!!

Very sad....lots of happy memories.

But does this mean my dad can have his allotment and chicken pen back??

Here's a photo slideshow I've just uploaded on Youtube. I created the music on my computer.

Shiny? got a polish fetish have we.?

Loved it, the shot of the church over a demolished HP was awsome well done great music and not too many effects, one if not the best slideshows yet.

Fantastic.

How sad would we feel had we not got the LSV to go to?
Not very long ago, that would have been a distinct possibility.

Absolutely brilliant , sad to see the ground go and the pictures sure tell a story . Title for piece of music ? End of an era ...

Excellent slide shows....prefer the one with the happy ending though.

Great stuff jumper4stix, it's far better than mine - I always like a happy ending!

Thanks Mishmash for your comments. I spoke to you on the day they knocked down the Tommy Sale stand. Your photos are absolutely stunning. I was taking video with an analogue video camera of the stand being knocked down. But I can't seem to get the quality right converting it to digital to upload to Youtube. So, I've made a slideshow of the photos I've taken over the last month.

Analoge converts badly to digital unless you put the footage direct from camera into a dvd recorder (stand alone) then digitise the dvd in a video editor I use ULEAD VIDEOSTUDIO 11 (now owned by Corel and on ver 12)
then save it as an mpeg II file download a FLV convertor convert it to FLV then post on youtube (or in mpeg4 format if you download an mpeg4 convertor) but you do need a good video editor, windows moviemaker is ok but limited.
Sounds complicated but it isnt in practice.

Thanks Fred for that helpful advice. I have a Pinnacle Dazzle USB gadget that I can plug my analogue camcorder straight into my computer. It looks OK when I'm transferring the footage onto my PC, but the quality is poor after editing and playing back.

I didn't want to use the video mode on my digital still camera when I went to see the Tommy Sale stand demolished. I was low on battery power.

Fred. Do you think you and your Andrew could put all this together and show it on the big screen at half time at maybe our last home game of the season. Its good entertainment showing where HP started to being demolished. The LSV from start to finish. Along with pics and footage of our past players and games. It is something that I wanted to get off the ground for the closing of HP but never happend. Now we have the big screen already there I think it would be fantastic presentation.

Top idea , would look really good on the big screen too , am sure the fans would love to see a presentation like that

Yeah I remember you - I think we were busy trying to keep out of each other shots!!





I've already sent Fred some of my pics but there's that many it's difficult to choose the best ones, anyway I'd be more than happy for some of my pics to be used in a video - there's no point taking photos if no one ever gets to see them!
