Re: Jimmy McIlroy lower Stand
The one and only time my wife has been to Turf Moor we sat in there, soaked and freezing, 0-0 v Derby County in about 2003/4. A completely featureless game devoid of atmosphere. She has not campaigned to go again.

Re: Hillsborough - 35 years
I was on the away end at Blackburn v Man City that day (4-0 to Rovers as a blip on City’s promotion charge). Can vividly remember people crowding the window of a Rumbelows or similar watching the footage unfolding. Towards the end of the game I remember there was a rumour that a stand had collapsed ...

Re: Truro City - fixture congestion and ground (pitch) problems
Genuinely interesting thread. Surely the future is more artificial turf given changing climate. At junior football level in Leeds it’s shocking, mudbaths like the 1970s.

Can't quite visualise it, but you're probably right about Hibernian's Easter Road as you approach Edinburgh Waverley from the east (on the East coast Mainline) to the north.

Re: Leeds fans
I live in Leeds. They’re in danger of losing a generation of supporters due to not expanding the ground. Relegation will not help. They’re stuck in the 20th century. Within the city, Rhinos seem to be as well-supported as LUFC and do a lot more for the community. LUFC have big regional draw obviously.
