I'm some someone like Cowdenbeath had planning permission to expand to 150,000 until World War Two intervened. I'm sure that would have been full every game.

Didn’t Port Vale plan to build a 100,000 “Wembley of the North” Stadium after the war?
I planned to be an astronaut and marry Olivia Newton John when I was a kid.
You were too young as a kid to marry her.

My cousin dated her niece a couple of years back. I'll ask him to put a word in for you.

Everytime I see this thread, I can’t help but think of the earlier post where someone mentioned it was the difficult second album from “African Car Reverser”

I’m still laughing now.

Wasn't  there some sad back story behind Herd leaving us?  Apologies if I remember inaccurately.

He had bad luck with the timing and severity of a knee injury, twice.
This is an interesting interview and he reflects on how much he enjoyed his time at Villa.

He’s currently playing at Sheik Russel KC who are 8th/13 in the Bangladesh Premier League, so CD’s prediction could come true. Better hurry up!

Chris Herd could have been a very good player - with us at the wrong time with the wrong manager(s); a good tough-tackling MF who covered well when the FB went marauding.

I was pitchside there once, and the scale of the tunnel and running track showed what they were aiming for.

Vale Park record crowd is nearly 50,000 for a cup game with us in 1960.
