Terraces in football grounds

Still very much in existence at hundreds of football grounds around the country. Football doesn't exist in just the Premier League and Championship.

Get yourself to the Dripping Pan if you want to see some quality terracing with a bar at the bottom!

Mini Disc. For those who don't know, they were to be the greatest digital recording device ever. I put most of my vinyl collection, around 5000 7" singles, onto mini disc. Year later we had MP3 and then itunes.http://www.minidisc.org/images/sony_mdsje330.jpg

Do you remember the aggro between the Wanderers and Royal Engineers during the FA Cup Final in 1871. I heard it got quite tasty.

i'll take your word for it

I think this thread is running out of interest now - too many repeats. .

I think you are right

For me it was that building by Battersea Park that you passed on the way in to Victoria. Opened in the 1980s as the state of the art HQ of the Observer newspaper. Then got a bit tatty and became the home of QVC shopping channel. Then empty. Now knocked down to make way for luxury flats.

Commuters will know the one.

Marco Polo House - it was BSB satellites not the Observer originally I thought?

Not sure if they named their satellites after it or the other way around though.

1980s office space is difficult to use with modern floor plate desires and is less likely to be preserved than even some interesting 60s stuff so a lot will probably be torn down.

Ah was it? You may be right. Either way, I think they imagined it was very state of the art at the time.
