'I've never been back. It's a Morrisons now but I'll never go.
To me it should still be Brockville, not a supermarket.'
- Kevin McAllister
Our stadiums are cultural spaces. They belong to us.
They deserve better than being replaced by soulless constructs like supermarkets and retail parks.
Sure, have done so now.

Burnley supporters flood the field following 'The Orient Game', the match which confirmed their safety in the Football League.
Many people believed that, had Burnley been relegated to non-league following this match, they would have ceased to exist as a club.
The old Dens Park, September 1962.
The home of Dundee Football Club, photographed the season after they won the league and the season where they'd reach the semi-finals of the European Cup.
No wonder the crowds were so big.

They were dancing in the streets of Raithโฆ
Itโs been nearly 31 years since Raith took Celtic to penalties in the Scottish League Cup final and left with the trophy.
An extraordinary night for so many reasons.
Three generations of Gimnasia fans side by side.
โThis photo represents what it is to be a fan of Gimnasiaโ.
This is football heritage - the heritage of the game through the eyes of supporters.

Words of wisdom from Ferenc Puskรกs. As much a philosopher as he was a legendary footballer.
Can't blame you. One of my favourite clubs from the USA. Superb fanbase. Was really gutted to hear about the new stadium!

I had a Reading shirt with Glen Little on the back when I was wee because I have family down there and Celtic are my club, going back years in my mums family.
Class football heritage right there.
