Came across this on BBC News. What a great thing to do. My nephew who died just before the ground opened )has a paving brick in his memory at The Amex, and in similar circumstances my family would certainly want it.

Yes, our family also has a brick at the Amex -very moving to walk past them all as I sometimes do. Nice thought by that lad.

Why didn’t WHU make sure that brick wall was preserved? It was only 1400 bricks.

Its a bit sad they couldn’t take this little bit of the old ground and build it into the new- a tiny bit of continuity with the old ground and old fans- they didn’t pay for the new stadium so it was hardly a budgetary consideration!

Says it all really, super fan interested in his club and some not very nice suits with the money not giving a f*ck about the fan base but controlling all the leavers.

All the names are carved into the walkway, similar to ours.
