- 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.

A nice shot at 20 seconds of our original group of 60 seats all together
Still standing after all this time
You bet.
the debts were not becuase we got relegated from the prem we had debts before we got promoted to the prem it was the ITV digital that gave us these bad finances this is the same narrator who dsaid we got relegated in 1995 lol
True,the ITV Digital fiasco didn't help,either,plunging a host of Football League clubs into serious trouble that amounted to potential existential danger. One thing always amazed me about that episode: did all 72 chairpeople at these clubs allow themselves to be blinded by pound signs in the eyes or did any of them sense something that didn't add up about that contract?
Personal opinion... Pozzo's have been great but time for them to go i think....
Another factual inaccuracy spotted very quickly,I hate to break it to you. Watford actually left the Premier League in 2000 in excellent financial shape - the joint-most-solvent club of all 92 with a pre-Glazer era Manchester United by some yardsticks. It was the Vialli punt in 2001-02 that left the club broke and on the verge of administration as they posted a loss of £10million for that year. Nevertheless,RIP the Gentleman of Cremona.
theres soo many wrongs in this video the rookery was the home end as of Aug 99 also
