Some of them are very random.  Brought back memories though!

Thanks. I love the ones underneath the old Upper Trinity as I used to sit there with my Mom and Dad in the 3rd division.

Great pictures - I particularly like the night time pictures of our old stand.

How can you fail to love a stadium that looked like that?

Just realised my stupid wording in the above statement. I guess if we had gone up into the seats above we may have seen some of the football being played.

Some good stills on this youtube clip, some  I have  seen before some I havent.

Always used to fuck me off when the tv went on about the magnificent Kop and Stretford ends

Nothing and i mean nothing compared to seeing that old Holte full to the rafters
NOt a direct quote but did Andy Gray not say that when he walked out of the tunnel it made him go cold and he had never seen anything like it

Also, without sounding like an old fart - i know the conditions were shit and the height of food offerings were a horrible pie with a Bovril

But wasnt football just a better game and time then? Rather than the sterile, sanitised ladydar shit of today

1:31. Trinity Road with Carriage Drive and the bowling green still intact is awesome.

[Villan For Life]

The final two pictures showing the Trinity demolition are depressing.

Your right. I put that on full screen and paused it to get a full appreciation. If you were walking down just to the left of the Trinity steps its all tree lined ! What date would it be ? I assume it was like that until the supporters club building was put there.
