Paul Hornby is speaking about some of the plans in a recorded interview with Adam Johnson tonight on the Sports Show from 18:05 or so.

EDIT: And good to hear Adam presenting the Sports News following the 13:00 News this afternoon.

September 1963. The first match under lights was against Doncaster Rovers with the official opening game against Dunfermline.

The foundations were dug by volunteers, predecessors to the current group dealing with the ground improvement works. Things go round & round!

Good interview that Adam and Paul talks very well. Nice to see the club investing in things that are in the long run going to pay for themselves.

Let's hope the excitement builds throughout the summer one thing for certain if we get a sniff of any success the crowds will build and the club will grow
