Midfield
Always wonder what younger fans think of these sorta things as they watch them
I consider myself a bit of a Dinosaur, but gimme any old ground of any old club and I love it.
Roker park was one, Goodison, Villa park, Hillsborough still hold a bit of the sort of...You turn a corner and there they stand, surrounded by a community, sort of ramshackle but simply reek of football, Highbury was the same, get off at Finsbury.Walk past a few houses and there it is , it rears up.
Bramall lane...(Til they built another stand and stopped what it was famous for...f.ookin' cricket!)
There are a fair few Owls fans would like to leave Hillsborough, I would honestly hate it, and I know some of it is down to '89 and the tragedy that happened there, and I would understand a Liverpool fan who would like to see it flattened
But...Hillsborough simply screams "Old time football".Rattles rosettes, tobacco...If we left it...I think I would still go and sit in the rubble and sniff the bloody bricks.
So it must have been a wrench for Sunderland fans to leave Roker.
Roker park, those 2 terraces behind the goals, working class football...Sheer history
I remember one old bloke complaining when they put a roof on our Kop...."Sodding ridiculous..Yer gonna be miserable, you may as well get wet!!!"
