Watch the fifth instalment of a six-part series documenting the history of Vicarage Road, as we celebrate our home ground’s centenary!
This episode covers the financial uncertainty of the early 2000s, at which point the future of the club and stadium was at risk, all the way through to the latest developments during our recent years in the Premier League.
During this period several Sir Elton John concerts were held in the ground and a new stand was named after our Honorary Life-President in 2014. Shortly before this the Rous Stand was renamed after Graham Taylor, and a statue of the former manager was also installed after his passing in 2017.
When football was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Vicarage Road’s facilities were used to provide space and support for our heroic NHS neighbours, staying true to the club’s family and community ethos.
Supporters Sabena Cripps, Fred Pigram, Frank Gilbert and Ian Dell give their accounts of this era, reflecting on how the stadium reached its current state.
