Gallery 1; pictures of a bygone age

 

We’ve won a few trinkets in our long, proud history;

 

The Holte end in 1975 when they used to ram us in.  With a 26- 28,000 capacity, it was arguably the largest in the country.

 

An aerial view of Villa park, age unknown.

 

Villa Park, 1907

 

 

The Trinity road stand, as was.

Designed by the acclaimed architect of his day, Archibald Leitch, many see it as a travesty that the stand got demolished;

 

Say no more;

 

 

The Trinity again. Note the blue boards on the bottom of the upper tier. These were kicked by the people sitting there, in time with the chants and helped create a superb atmosphere

 

One of the finest entrances to any ground anywhere in the world.

 

A more modern view of the same thing;

 

The back of the Holte end, as it was. Not so nice and I’m sure I wouldn’t want to sit on those steps, but oh, the atmosphere when it was on song!
