Liking the Vauxhall Chevette in the carpark.

And the fact that everyone going to the match is going in a suit. Very corporate.

thinking same thing easy....though is it a chevette? likely but don't discount the Opel Manta....

as doe opposite, has to be a lancia delta integrale belonging to player of the day

It's amazing really: until the Dark Days of the mid-90s onwards, those chairmen of the club who weren't *complete* money-grabbing crooks were always talking about a new stadium, in an era when no-one ever moved to a new stadium, ever.

Easy, why did you have to go and mention the Vauxhall Chevette? Back in 1975 I was the Asst Manager at Keymarkets supermarket in Lancing and our Area Manager had arranged with the local Vauxhall dealer to display one of the newly launched Chevettes in the first aisle of our shop for a week. They supplied us with a cassette of the TV advert which we had to play every 10 mins over the tannoy system for the whole week. I had this advert and song going through my head for the next frigging year, and I remember all the bloody words even now!

:eek:

Even Bellotti talked the talk about a new stadium, didn't he?

The one floodlight looks stupid :dunce:

I think that actually holds the safety netting up to stop the ball going out of the stadium when CMS tries a shot at the North Stand end goal.

Bamber was a regular visitor to the states and on seeing the stadia over there had hoped he could achieve the same for the Albion. He wanted it to be built at waterhall.
