I still see Highburyâ€™s North Bank Stand even though... 19/11

Usual thread starterâ€¦ Have you fully moved on from Highbury yet? Does the passing of time make it less vivid in your mindâ€™s eye? I am not sure my memories will ever fade. When you go to a place that many times, it kind of becomes imprinted on the brain! Do you go out of your way to walk past the East Stand anymore? Does that burger van there do a decent trade?!

since thof was knocked down there hasnt been a game i've gone to that hasnt included the walk up thomas rd ( from the pins ) and a peek inside at the new yuppie palace thats been built,, but no matter what memories i have and there is plenty from my first game , my first time in the north bank ,, games won and lost etc , but then you get to the top of the hill and the grove just looks so amazing with the big arsenal crests and the bridge with the ARSENAL spelt out,,
we know the grove isnt perfect and neither was highbury but still sad to see it now

but time stands still for no man and now its time for ashburton to start with the memories

I useaully go past the old ground when i go for my haircut & still think how the hell this was a place i loved so much & had so many good times
I could go on but it would end up as a life story on Highbury

Always think of "peanuts, roasted peanuts" and "come on you rip roarin reds!" when I think of the North Bank.

Best of the past - if a trifle sad - but best of the future too. Oooooh to be a Gooner!

Loved reading the article, a kindred spirit. I can't walk past the old place without feeling the memories and emotions flooding back.
