That one is from 1919

The one I linked before seems to have trees, which 1919 doesnt have so I guess its not Highbury.

Meh !!!!!


Oldgit, Donaldo, Quartz et al, this will be just like yesteryear.

WENGER OUT

Ah Top Londoner.

You know, it feels like only yesterday that I was sitting in a Lyons Corner house discussing troop movements in the Khartoum campaign, when I stumbled upon an article in the Daily Sketch announcing that we were to move from The Sportsman Ground to The Manor Ground.
I spat out my mouthful of Lemon Sponge at the very thought of it!
But here we are, over 120 years later, playing in a vast cauldron of wifi'd luxury and I marvel at the advances of modern science.

That is no Highbury in the Blackburn footage, oh no, at the time we had those delightful Archibald Leitch designed stands, surpassed later on by the even more delightful Claude Waterlow Ferris designed 'Art Deco" stands whose shell remains to this day.

[Its Up 4 Grabs Now]

"Huddersfield was the ground chosen for the Arsenal Grimsby clash..." as the opening line seems like a bit of a giveaway!

Got a lump in my throat looking at that lot.

This may fit the bill from about 1921

Wifi...you get wifi? At the Grove? You kidding me? I don't even get a signal on my phone half the time, let alone wifi... !

No wonder!
Here you are, in the bar at half-time, trying to make a call
