    I was there with Cardiff, and though it wasn’t a great game to watch, it was a great day out, and a good result. Someone else mentioned the Cardiff mascot (a girl of about 6 or 7) and I’d like to send my thanks to the guy in the Watford hornet suit, because he went out of his way to make sure she had a great day to remember.

    Away end is a death trap especially the access area to seating areas. Would hate to be in a situation were the it had to be evacuated in an emergency! Lot of these old fashioned grounds are the same modern stadia have their critics but at least in most cases they are safe!

    Must admit the ground looks good Matt. Remember going to the old Vicarage Road around the late 70s, when the Gills lost there in the FA Cup 5th round, after beating Peterborough at the Priestfield in front of a huge crowd, 5-1. Back in those days Watford had alot of Skinhead bovver boy fans, which was very intimidating. My mates and myself kept our mouths shut and were pleased Watford won lol

    For me Watford is culturally more London suburb than Hertfordshire town. Inside the M25, red buses, underground station. As to rivals, the highlight of the season so far was beating QPR twice. In the 1970s the rivals were Southend, Brentford and Swansea.

    Got to agree. That yellow and black Watford strip is an abomination. As far back as I can remember Watford always played in a yellow shirt and red shorts. Very classic and very distinctive. A bit like Partick Thistle in Glasgow. I always liked those colours.

    According to Google Brentford is 12 miles from Vicarage Road, as the crow flies, Arsenal is 14 miles, Tottenham is 15 miles and Luton is 16 miles. Watford are quite often included in London statistics and Ben Foster won Goalkeeper of The Year at the London Football Awards in 2019.
