Interesting short video re the last days of Bootham Crescent.
Sad to see the place go, but times move on. It's on the excellent COPA90 Stories channel on you tube.

Wow, what a fantastic, well put together video
Looking at that & the vide I done of AP, IMHO new grounds will ever have character & no matter how much money you spend on a new stadium, or how glamorous they may look, there's something special about the old grounds, different stands, terracing, barriers, old rickety turnstiles, holes in the stands, etc, that new grounds will never have
 
That is lovely and very sad.
Archaeologists have been trying to save the tunnel behind the popular stand as a feature in the new housing estate. I hope they succeed. Too many historic sports grounds have been cruelly swept away without a trace left behind, for an Asda, Home Bargains or a starter home.
Hopefully they are at least able to preserve the tunnel as well as the memories.
