As pointed out in the somerton park thread - just thought it easier to post new thread so it wasnt lost in the middle of that thread.

Oh Lord!! That was fkin 'orrible!! Like going to identify the dead body of a loved one. As soon as I heard the music I knew it wasnt for me and when I saw about 5 seconds of the footage I closed it down.
I havent driven over Somerton Bridge since the ground went as I can still picture the old shitdump in its full glory, inside my head. I dont want to know what it looks like with a housing estate on top as that would ruin my mental image. However, the few moments I just saw will haunt me til I snuff it.
err geep wibble!

The thought police (South West Grid for Learning) have this site filtered - is it really that distressing? Will just have to content myself with that wonderful book of old grounds .......

The music doesn''t help - it's the sort of thing that might be played over footage of people dragging bodies on home-made sledges during the siege of Leningrad. At least the sun is shining on Somerton. Rochdale on the other hand...

That's the book I borrowed and still haven't found?
