So Doug had been to Houston, Mexico and Tokyo to check out football stadia in '73/74. What a well-travelle fellow!

I saw his face and watched it with the sound off.

Wet? Wet? I drowned!
FA Cup Villa 0 Coventry 3
My programme was ruined and collecting my programme was a part of every match.

Not against Coventry. They didn’t win at Villa Park until 1998!

Yeah, I thought that was unlikely.

And, to be honest, the main thing is that Holte Enders stay dry.

Somw of our younger viewers may not have seen much of the old Witton End, you see it quite well at the start of this vid.

Makes me feel quite melancholy seeing Doug pomping on about boxes and the modern way, the North Stand but a twinkle in his eye.

It's more than time the Witton Lane stand was renamed. Preferably sponsored,  it's what Ellis would want.
