Took a visit back to our former ground today and was really pleasantly surprised to see it looks as though the jobs finally getting finished, as the barren land that has stood undeveloped for years is now finally having houses and flats built on it. Didn't get any pictures before anyone says it but got chatting to a fella on the site who told me someone had been today as they are sorting out the memorial that will stand on the spot of the Maine Road centre circle. Not the most interesting news on here at the minute but just an update if anyone's interested.

Felt like crying to be honest

Agreed. Paid a quick visit when I was over for the Hull game at the start of the season. I found it depressing and spirit crushing to be honest.

Aye. I've never been back and don't know if I ever will. For me it's exactly like not wanting to go to the cemetery. I know how that sounds given it's in relation to football, but I prefer memories to visting something that aint coming back.

I'm with you Jim. I went for a look around just after the start of this season and it just felt so very wrong.
 
Just been looking on line for info on the houses bring built there, I thought they was built some time ago to be honest,
Looking through the plots , all the house types have names like the Allison, the Doyle, the Oakes , the Corrigan, the Lee, the Rosler , few others White, Coleman then a set of houses called the Matilda ??
Did we have a player called Matilda any time ..

A lot of houses and flats were built on the land a good few years ago but then a large area of the land remained undeveloped as well. Until now.
