most people seem to have accepted the way football grounds are going.....but i just cant. i hate seeing grounds like they are now....theres no character. if nothings done then it will just continue to happen ...... we as fans must do something to stop this from happening.... but how?
Soon to include Saltergate. I'm absolutely devastated. Its like losing a grandad. Its been part of my life for 23 years. Saltergate is Chesterfield FC. It just won't be the same. I can seriously see me losing the passion to go.
eJasminde - your SO right mate. im only 16 and so cant fully appreciate the character these old grounds used to have.....but it deeply saddens me also to think one by one, our traditional, beloved stadiums are being taken from us from greedy, disinterested rich wankers, and turning them into concrete bowls next to the motorway - their ruining our beautiful game bit by bit
i'm so blessed that the league here in ireland still has terrecing and old fashioned stands and the tradtonal big 4 floodlights. americans can keep their "progress"
No matter how I try to rationalise this or come to terms with it, the thought of these great stadia being gone forever, and the tacky corporate plastic bowls we now have in their place, kills me every time I think about it. I try to think of a way to accept it, but I just can't.
great vid, its hard to believe so many grounds have gone, with our promotion yesterday I think our city ground is another step closer towards the enevitable "progress".
Oh, this is really sad. | want to make you a suggestion. Could you get some pictures of the new "stadiums" and put it in another video, so we can appreciate the huge differences between old and new grounds. This will be easy for you cause all modern stadiums are exactly similar.
Particularly, my uncle was at The Dell when he's living in Southampton and he always says he'll never forget it.Change a Clough Lane by a Coca-Cola Stadium is a bad idea.
A truly pity, you should keep them. In Spain there is no grounds like these.And in England progress is buried alive memories. The whole video is awesome, but wood chairs have shocked me
In Spain there's still San Mamés, Sadar or El Molinón. Unfortunately San Mamés will be soon replaced. Such a shame. I will always remember Atotxa in San Sebastian or Carlos Tartiere in Oviedo. Highbury was one of the most beautiful stadia ever. I hope Anfield, Goodison Park or Craven Cottage will stand on their feet for a long time.
this is great like how many more great grounds are going to go

@thennowforeverforest It is at the moment but they are always talking about moving it out of the city and destroying all of the history and memories.
