    I would say on the open day in 2011 walking into the nearly completed Amex. Finding where our seats will be in East stand. Looking in awe at what Tony had achieved for our very grateful supporters.

    How about pre-retro. I collect Bang & Olufsen Beolit 600 transistor radios made in 1964 - 1970. Considering they are 60 years or so old they knock the hollow DAB sound in a cocked - hat.
