Most knew it and irrespective of the football many of them have quietly walked away. Even Jim I think struggles with it and knows he'd have led something better had Christie Park than the opposition player palace we've got now.

Home to Bradford City 1-1 barely a song just the incredible atmosphere of applause, encouragement and roars then finally Carl Baker smashing it home for the winning goal.

Can you remember ridiculing me for labelling the Globe a crap stadium and calling it 'two-sheds and a palace'

You probably deserved it.
Publicly I tried to keep a brave face after we moved. It wasn't like we could do anything about it. Privately I couldn't believe what was delivered. That soon spilled on to here.
I bet you never had club directors turn up at your office unnanounced to attack you for your comments on here about the stadium and how it was built. When that happens you know the whole project is screwed.

Their supporters invaded the pitch celebrating reaching the play-offs, and we congratulated them as they approached the much missed North Stand which lead to a sing-song. Great memory, in a weird way!
