My step dad and I do too. My lad as well, his name and DOB from 2006.

Haven't looked at them in years and can't even remember what wall either of them are in now.

One thing that really irks me is how it's just a random mix of gold and black bricks.

They should have been either grouped together or at least set out in some sort of pattern. They just look messy.

And also the gold bricks were more expensive but you can't read them compared to the black ones.

I still remember the chant in the West End - "Happy is our Leader".

The one thing on the stadium that I've always felt was 'ours'.

Huge regret I never bought one. I think it was simply down to lack of finances at the time. Can anyone remember how much? I think they were £250 each but that could have been the padded seats debacle instead.

If it is The "Happy" Dave Kelly ? Wow.
He was Cov thro & thro.
Saw him on the coach, in the West End & then he'd ref you Sunday.
Heart of Cov Gold.
