Good stuff Colston. I think the biggest loss to our history is the Peel Croft ground and that lovely wooden stand built for League Football but which never got to see any. Such a waste that it is just going to be bulldozed for a new Lidl.

The last time I visited Peel Croft was maybe two years ago. I sat there on a Saturday afternoon, watching the rugby, holding a pint and sitting where I wanted. Although I did wonder whether I might disappear through the floor at some point.
Turns out now that it'll soon become a 'cherished memory'.
I watched a documentary about The Cavern in Liverpool the other night. In 1973, they knocked it down/filled it in. Can you believe it? One of the most famous clubs in the world - all for a ventilator shaft for British Rail. And I don't think they built the shaft after all either.......Not that Peel Park is on the same scale - AND they've rebuilt The Cavern in any case.

I did 't go to the old Cavern. I suspect it is a bit like watching Sheffield United. Better than nothing but a bit unpalatable.
