Wasnt there that game, but i did hold a season ticket there for 3 years in west terrace (best part of the ground)

Miss the stadium, was much better than the Ricoh.

So glad I went to this game! Fantastic atmosphere! The west terrace was absolutely brilliant! The atmosphere at the Ricoh isn't a touch on the west terrace. =[

I have to agree, the Ricoh is all very modern and lovely and that, but its no where near as special and as atmospheric as our old HR. There was a real buzz going to and in side the ground (and from, if we won!) - that last game was a very very special day - one that makes the hairs on my arms and neck stand on end even as I type this!

The ricoh is purpose built and will never change
but highfield road grew with you
after nearly 30 years man and boy that day was like losing a close relative
I hope my kids feel the same about the ricoh in 30 years time
hope i do

I've only recently been able to look at the pics of the ground being demolished! Just couldn't bring myself to do it before and really wish I hadn't! To me, it only seems like yesterday we were playing there, me walking up with my dad, people milling around outside and the fans noise inside steadily getting noisier the closer you got.

Ricoh's just not the same, not just because of the atmosphere but because it has nothing to do with our history. Most away fans I talk to that went to HR say that the Ricoh just isn't the same, it's like you're not playing Coventry.

The same as when HR had that bad fire That was bad too and was a bit gutting to see how people could do such a thing.
