City Ground is still a stadium

[SeanyB1982]

@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.

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.

What is the song? Six stars for the video.

@punkgalician The Song is:- Sacred Music, Band:- Trembling Blue Stars. Album:- The Last Holy Writer

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.

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.

@SeanyB1982 I know i am a Nottingham Forest season ticket holder < at the moment how things are going i doubt we will move

[philipkent07]

The less old grounds the better!! Nothing worse than watching your team in another teams shithole as anyone who's been to Hillsboro will testify!!

[graham212red]

you can now add Saltergate at Chesterfield-another traditional old ground gone-so sad really

[CPFCmyles]

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?

[Thedoctorsbiggestfan]

we love you burnden park you were and are our true home

[welshceltsskewen]

Great video. This really highlights how every stadium back in the day was unique. You cant say that now.

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.
