This.....with a tear in my eye.
I know there were some awful times, but they are still fantastic memories, I wouldn't swap them for anything.

strange how I can remember some of the games there as if it was yesterday ....yet ask me what I was actually doing yesterday and I might not be able to tell you.
great bit of film and a time never to be forgotten and friends who went through it with me never to be forgotten
we do have history

I'm in that about, 6 seconds in, standing next to my dad. Happy memories. Loved that place!

Why is this not available to view on mobiles/tablets? I guess my question should be, why restrict it?

The future is bright, but the past still painful. I would give a lot just to be back there for one moment, just to see if it's all like I remember it.
Wouldn't that be something?

Indulge me with a little Jumpers For Goalposts moment.
Paying £2 to get in. The smell of Bovril from the East Terrace. Standing on a beer crate. Perimeter adverts for Radio Rentals, Redifusion, Bollom Dry Cleaners, the Seagull Line. The ever present broken windows in the back of the West Stand. The little shop at street level, later replaced by the portakabin to the left of the stand. My Dad driving us down, parking in Wilbury Villas (or something like that) and walking to the ground. Walking back and listening to James Alexander Gordon reading the results (which you had no idea of until that point), preceded by the unmistakeable theme tune of Sports Report on BBC Radio 4 LW (?). Just hearing this tune takes me right back there.

Such a good song. I link it to Linford Christie and his false start and exit.
I'd quite like it to be played at my funeral as I make my final exit towards the unknown, quickly followed by Always Look on the Bright Side of Life.

As a non smoker - The smell of fags ! the smell of fags in the open air ALWAYS reminds me of the Goldstone. Remember the half time scores being put up on those little alphabetical signs running along pitchside and walking in the road blocking the traffic after the game at the top of Sackville Road.

Cracking band and cracking song.
In answer to the question, yes, I have it on video either here or at my parents place. We have 2 tapes choc-full of all the stuff from the 'war years' culminating in plenty of footage from the Hereford game!
Albion & England forever.

Sums it up! Couldn't have worded it any better!
Very moving, man enough to say that I shed a little tear watching that (again)!

That bought a lump to my throat! God I miss that place! Still get goosebumps over Storer's goal - and the North Stand erupting after Jimmy Case's goal against Norwich!

Still moves me to tears.
Would make a lovely terrace anthem:
If you've played all the games they've played,
You played them yesterday,
Just walk away, walk away
If you've been , where they wanna go, seen all they've got to show,
And now you must believe me, you never lose your dream,
So now you must believe me, we never lose our dreams
If you've played all the games they've played,
You played them yesterday,
Just walk away, walk away
If you've been , where they wanna go, seen all they've got to show,
And now you must believe me, you never lose your dream,
So now you must believe me, we never lose our dreams
