Yes, it is very sad. Ninian Park is - sorry, was - a very old ground with a lot of history and character.

It's very sad to see those photos of the ground being left in ruins, particularly so soon after the ground was the last couple of years.

But, there might possibly be a time in the future when we may have to leave Victoria Park. That will be a difficult day. sadx

To be honest demolishing the ground is just like leaving it in ruins in my opinion.

It's still sad to see a football ground which was fully operational only a couple of years ago being left to seemingly rot like that.

Kent lad, your not thick, so stop acting it.

To leave summit in ruins would be to well, basically do just that, leave it, and let it rot.

THIS SHIT HOLE OF A GROUND IS BEING KNOCKED DOWN!! NOT LEFT IN RUINS, NOT LEFT TO ROT!!

Elvisc is right, it was a dire fucking shithole.

I went there a few years ago, about 2001 or 2002 summit like that, we we're 2-1 up with minutes to spare, and ending up losing 3-2 somehow.

Anyway, the ground was a chodding mess, it needed knocking down then.

The Haven site isn't The Blue Dolphin. Two totally different places. Blue Dolphin is dreadful.

I love that bit of the Yorkshire Coast.

oh well shows how much I took notice its the haven site he has a caravan on, the site is pretty good its just visited by a load of chavs that go into the club get hammered and farm the kids off to play in the amusements.

I sincerely doubt that a swallow can fly with a sovereign ring on. I mean what's the air speed velocity of a swallow, if laden with one ounce of shady Darlo gyppo gold??

There are still parts of Butlins at Filey (Outdoor Pool for one) still standing and that shut in 1983! So There!

I was just going to say that can't be right, I went to Butlins after that. Until I thought about it and remembered it was 1978, I was there!! Where does the time go!!!

The Haven camp next door to where Butlins was, is Primrose Valley isn't it?
