It was an "unlucky, good game otherwise" applause.Pliny Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224184317567631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31627570.post-37966234428089488772010-03-13T13:27:02.484+01:002010-03-13T13:27:02.484+01:00Tons of character; I feel lucky to be able to supp...Tons of character; I feel lucky to be able to support a club with one of the best stadia in Britain. Skircoat has a lovely pitched roof, two of the largest terraces in the country either side which will be crackling with spirit again some day, and now a large shiny East Stand for those who like that sort of thing. Hills still aren't totally obscured and the uncleaned mess it's in adds to character when you're not in one of the toilet cubicles with poo smeared everywhere.Pliny Harrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09224184317567631382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31627570.post-42438282125456887682010-03-10T18:44:51.862+01:002010-03-10T18:44:51.862+01:00Hi,

On the contrary, to those brought up with the ground the way it was, it's now just another modern stadium. Pre-revamp, it was a highly distinctive venue. Almost all gone. Even the stunning views of the surrounding hills have now disappeared. You should have popped into the Piece Hall, a wonder of the Industrial Revolution, while you were in Halifax. It's just two minutes' walk from the railway station. Best wishes with your travels for the rest of the season. Go FGIF!Ayton Shaymanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06606003658552147511noreply@blogger.com
