Drove past the ground last night, I could only see the Tommy Sale stand and the score board. Felt a bit sad myself and havent been going anywhere near as long as nearly all of you on this forum so god knows how some of you are feeling.....

I don't actually feel that sad, had some great times there but its a bit like moving to a better house, with renewed hope and looking forward to making new memories.
