Have to say some of his other photographs are stunning. I wish mine turned out as good as those.
Ohhhhhhhh yes, I was there with my cycle bulb horn bought from Atkins Cycles in Gosford St on the same morning. If you were sat in front of me in the Sky Blue stand block nearest the Kop you may remember.lol
You must be a Wolves fan.........they couldn't get anywhere near it!!!!Im going to be controversial now and announce I never liked the west terrace. Am I the only one?
I'm sure I'm in amongst this lot somewhere! :thinking about:
Great picture but it's important that history doesn't get misread. Before the "Wolves game" both us and Wolves were both already promoted. What was left to play for was the status of Champions. That didn't happen until the last game of the season when we beat Millwall 3-1 at home and Crystal Palace beat Wolves at Selhurst Park.Fans on the pitch after the Division 2 title decider

What an amazing atmospheric photo. From the island at the Howitzers club and up through Hillfields. One of my favourites. Thank you.
I, and I'm sure many others will hold you to that pledge. Good luck with your initial quest. Just one thing tho - once you've got the lolly and have obtained planning permission, please, please sort out the toilets at the top of the Kop.Best thread ever and all of the comments just show what a passion we all had for our whole club back in those days. The stadium was ours and a stronghold for all of us. A place that we had a oneness with and a belief in. Sadly all gone and if I ever win the Euro millions I will buy all of the flats and houses on the site, demolish them and build a replica Highfield Road.
Im gonna stick with them, after all we will need something to climb onto during capacity gate games.I, and I'm sure many others will hold you to that pledge. Good luck with your initial quest.

Just found this one from an old football grounds book I had. Did anyone ever stand on that death trap that was the Crows Nest?

We are a Million miles away from this. Last century. Ancient history. Now it is all about plodding along and waiting for a final JR decision. Clowns talking about a stadium at the uni or in Nuneaton. 18. In the third division. Loan players. Manager who is lost. Rugby team as leading sports team in Cov.. Gone is the hope, the passion, the dream....... Just looking forward hopefully to a nil nil against Rochdale.
Always has been my absolute favourite. It sits in my collection in pride of place.

The Telegraph's recent series of 'On This Day' pics has some great pictures with HR as the backdrop. Particularly the West Ham league cup semi (36k attendance) and Derby 4th round in '74 I think (reported as 41k but might be less).
