So did Staion Road, in fact it had more history. But it's time had past.

How did you get in there, it didnt look like there was a match on?

I was down there to help out the foundation as group of school children were interviewing players.

I got there early so asked if i could have a walk about with camera.
Was good as i believe it was that day we spoke to the old groundsmen 'Ocker' who brought the stadium alive again.

Thanks for kind words.

Correct, it looks far better now and it's a shame it fell into such poor conditions since it's glory days.

What used to be the touchdown club looks alot different now (as a gym).

History yes. Atmosphere no. Have always found it rather quiet (apart from us desperate Wire fans of course). I never got quite so muddy or stuck behind a post with a poor view at Wilderspool. Equally I never saw a young lad trip on the uneven concrete and head butt the wall either (fan in question ended up with a face full of blood.)

Great pics

I feel so priveliged paying for the history of a ground!

Really adds value does that!
