ago when they were down a division. The stadium was in pretty poor state, with big holes in the corrugated tin roof that funneled rain water right into sections of the stands. When I first got into the ground, I couldn't understand why there were areas where no body was seated - until it started raining...

Good fans indeed, saw the Eagle while having a few pints in the pub in the stadium beforehand, and distinctly remember how 'English' the walk to the Tube station from the ground after the match felt - crowds of good-natured supporters walking through a red-brick Victorian neighborhood, chatting to friends in the houses and having a jolly old time.
