Moving grounds

[Fosse Boy]

But what about Bolton, who have just had their most successful decade ever?

Or Middlesbrough? (ditto)

Or Hull? (highest ever league place)

Or Sunderland (gates doubled on their move to the Stadium of Light?)

Once Derby took the plunge and moved to a far bigger stadium, we had to do likewise - especially as our fanbase was far too big for Filbo.

It's shameful to see so many repeat the myth that our current stadium has no atmosphere. I don't recall too many problems at the Leeds game.

That was mostly down to the away end though.

As for the likes of Middlesbrough and Bolton, although arguably new stadia have heightened their fortunes on the pitch, the atmosphere found within the stands is hardly ever compared favourably to Burnden or Ayresome Park by their fans now that the novelty of having a brand spanking new arena to play in has fizzled out.

But half of their fans can't remember Burnden or Ayresome, and of those who did, few went there on a regular basis.

Man City are another club who have benefited massively through moving grounds, especially as Eastlands is heavily subsidised by the local council.

How the devil did you find that Mr Bilo? I must congratulate you on your enterprise. Personally I think that this is a better image:

OK Take the weekend shuttle out of RAF Brize Norton to Nikola Tesla. I'll meet you at the end of the runway in the APC. I'll be wearing my flak jacket.

As a precaution I'd advise you to 'runch' to avoid any incoming...

Any more of these images would be really appreciated.

Here's another:

PS There's a rather large natural formation in the background of the last stadium shot that I posted. The surrounding flat terrain fosters an illusion of elevation. Even so, I would estimate that this peak is between 1,000 - 1,500 metres in height and therefore a significant one for a low lying country.

What is its name?

I noticed it too.

That would be Old John positioned in Bradgate Park, Newtown Linford.
