So sorry to hear about Martin's stroke. Martin & Val are a loveley couple and we have got to know them quite well since Lesley and I have joined them in that most exclusive part of the ground. Best wishes for your recovery, Shep.

Today had another look-in.

Pop-up sprinklers.....drainage tubes can be seen sticking up from the pitch awaiting pop-ups to be connected.
Pylons for the new floodlights are expected to be up within the next month, LED bulbs are coming from Spain

I saw photos that the old lights are down. Can anyone tell if the new ones have started to put up or is there other work first?

Hi,

Query on the Hampton line-up - I have Garman starting, instead of McLintock - report below is Middlesex Chronicle, 24th May 1968, p30.
This seems to tally with Shepperton Supporter's spreadsheet from the time (column #69)


Despite my having the correct line-up on my records, I still managed ...
