I can't think of the guy's name - Roy, I think - but he did the Aces of Yesteryear videos. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you for the response Norman. And I must 'plead guilty' as being the "...someone seems to have deleted that thread..." I will try to find the details of your excellent New Cross book elsewhere. As always my best regards to you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All we want is for you to act like a normal person. Is your life that miserable that you have to spend your time on the internet being so bloody disruptive? And why the feeble apologies? Every time you do that, you return in a couple of days and carry on as before. GROW UP!!! Edited January 30, 2022 by chunky Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

iris123 20,984 Posted January 31, 2022 An interesting site for old sports stadia. Scroll down and a few photos of remains of the old stadium. Unfortunatelly not very good. When i visited the site there was certainly more to see of the terracing and , as i said previously the ticket office/entrance gate house https://www.derelictlondon.com/londons-long-lost-sports-grounds.html Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chunky 6,092 Posted January 31, 2022 Just thought I'd let you all know the news regarding the magical New Cross book about which John can't find any details... He emailed me the link on the museum website for it, in case anyone wants it! I know, I know, WHAT museum website? Do you need the link, Norman? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
