What all the major grounds looked like 25 years ago

[canveyblue]

Goes to show how far we have fallen. We had one of the best grounds back then.

We've got one of the best grounds now, might not be new but still one of the best.......

We still have . Proper football ground with character . Not like some of the new ones which look like flat-pack IKEA .

Goodison is bloody BOSS lad

 

[tim cahill]

Goodson was definitely one of the biggest back then.

I pure love Goodison me.

Still my favorite memory is walking up those steps in the Gwladys and getting my first glimpse of magnificence. I hope I get the same feeling in the new place.

A shame the footprint does not enable redevelopment. A new main stand and park end to complement the iconic Bullens and street end would have been great!

God I remember standing in that Stamford Bridge away stand that was open to the elements. Horrible stadium, sandy pitch and miles from the action. I must have been about 10 years old and the level of - let's just call it not very PC - abuse levelled at Paul Elliott by some of our fans, still rings in my ears.

Fortunately, the only time I went there was first game of the season in 1978 in 90+ degrees. Andy King scored the only goal after about three minutes and rest of the game was a sunbathing fest. Tip of a ground.

No mention of the blue gravel, these journos are clueless

Took my grandson to the Leicester 4-2 game . Not bad for his first time . He RAN up the stairs to Upper Gwladys , in the corner where it bends into Bullens . Couldn't wait to go up the steps to the seats to see GP in all its glory . " Wow " ......then " Can I have a drink and hotdog, grandad "

I remember the semi circle behind the goals. Kept the fans back from the goalies for some reason.
