As one of the people on here lucky enough to have seen Colin in his pomp you are correct about some elements of the match day experience in those "halcyon" days Peter. We laugh about customer service today and the way we are described as customers but my memories of Maine Road were as you describe. The new ground may be, as many are these days, a bit antiseptic, but I feel safe there, I can get out safely without the scary steps and tunnels of the old days, I can, sometimes with a bit of a struggle, always get some overpriced ale to drink, I get a good view of the game, the pitch is always immaculate, I can walk around the ground without stepping in animal shit, apart from a few drips penetrating the roof, why can't they sort that out, rainfall doesn't impact me when I am watching. Oh yes and the football I have been watching for the past 10 years has generally been of a very high standard played by some exceptional players, what a shame the club I have watched for 60 years has lost its soul, utter bollocks as you say.
As for Henderson I won't be buying his hand wringing 50 people who have ruined football production, albeit there are, apparently. comedic elements within it.
