New Stadium, a fantastic view

Last updated : 23 May 2002 By
A great arena it looks like and I have seen the work by my own eyes, and it is so great to see this stadium, that the old Filbert Street will probably not be remembered as long as you would wish. The old ground holds a lot of tradition and history but it has been a long wait for a new arena. A great new arena was allready on the drawing board in the 70's and to move into this new stadium is a great event. Previous chairman John Elsom was the man getting everything true and we have a lot to thank Mr. Elsom for, as a frontfigure in this run for a new stadium. The bad thing is that it should have been opened as a great new Premiership arena, but it wasn't to be.
