    I went to Plough Lane a few times in the 80s. Not the best of grounds it has to be said.

    Serious question about ACL, CCC

    Today for the first time since 30th April 2005 I went to where HR was and showed my son. Made me really sad. The Ricoh should never have been built in the first place.

    Serious question about ACL, CCC

    Serious question about ACL, CCC

    Now this puzzles me. Why do you give so little importance to the role of Bryan Richardson? Without him selling our own ground then there would be no ACL, no SISU, no Joy, no Tim, no PWKH. No conversation.

    Serious question about ACL, CCC

    Richardson had already sold HR to Wimpey. We had no ground, we were homeless. What else could our club do?
