Episode 116 (The Dell Years) - Total Saints Podcast

[TotalSaintsPod]

19 years ago this week, our beloved old football stadium closed its doors for the final time.

 

Having hosted the last ever competitive match (vs Arsenal on 19th May 2001), and the last ever match (vs Brighton on 26th May 2001), it saw 103 years of dedicated service come to an end.

 

To celebrate one of England's famous old football stadiums, TSP116 sees us joined by Russell Masters, the man behind www.historicsouthampton.co.uk.

 

Among other things, we discuss Saints first moving to The Dell ( in 1898 ), the first ever match, stuffing Pompey, boxing bouts, World War 2 attacks, record attendances and, of course, the final competitive goal - scored by the one and only, Matt Le Tissier.

 

This episode is simply full of Dell content and memories, as we pay tribute to this massive part of our Club/City's history.
