Lovely piece, thanks.
Lovely piece that any true supporters can relate to. Thank God Elland Road (my temple) survived the early 2000 madness which would have got rid of our ancestral home. All the best for the future.

Well done, thanks
Similar thoughts great memories, well done. There’s many families / supporters that can identify with the loss of such a large part of their history hopefully when & if we’re into Lionel Road we can continue our story with like moments. Come on you Bee’s

Thanks very much for the article Jim, I don’t think any of us could have put it any better. Top job mate, you certainly hit the nail on the head. Some of those nights were truly unfortgettable, let’s hope there are many more up the road. Cheers again.
My first game at Griffin Park a 1-1 draw with Southend (I think it was 1966). My last was supposed to be this season against Wigan, but it wasn’t to be I live in the West Midlands now and trips to London are rare but over fifty years of supporting this wonderful club I have too many memories to recount. Being part of a 30,00 crowd one Boxing Day match (a Division 4 fixture), watching as Gary Roberts struck that goal against Liverpool and DJ Campbell v Sunderland. The fight against bankruptcy and the thermometer at the Braemar Road entrance as the club tried to raise a few thousand pounds. The sale of Stuart Houston to Man Utd that was a financial lifeline and the era of John Doherty and big John O’Mara, Such happy times as we stand on the verge of the ultimate achievement of the Premiership. Will my bucket list dream become a reality……i do so hope so.
Good bye Griffin Park – thank you for being such an important part of my life.
Thank you Jim for your piece. The names evoked so many memories. In my case going back 62 years. I can still recall all of the team from the 1958/59 season.
My thoughts go to my Father who took me and who supported them from the early 50’s. Most of those years spent in Division 3 and 4 were certainly not glamorous
but we still had some wonderful times. The atmosphere in Griffin Park when there was over 20000 there was beyond special.
Thank you to Mathew for giving this wonderful club such a bright future.
That was a lovely piece
The mention of Bob booker’s hat trick against Hull in the 7-2 when it snowed on my walk back home with my late father brought a lump to my throat
It was a wonderfully fitting finale for griffin park but it always best when the post script of a story makes you smile that little bit broader so here’s to Tuesday
