Consecutive victories against Notts County and Tranmere Rovers made October 1994 a good month for Watford at home – but off the pitch a development of bigger long-term significance was beginning to take shape at Vicarage Road.
Last week, we looked back to July 29 years ago when the old Rookery end was being demolished.
You can see those pictures from our archive via this link.
A Watford Observer photographer was back at Vicarage Road almost three months later as the metal structure for a new stand accommodating almost 7,000 fans was being put in place.
It would be another six months until the new South Stand – as it was originally called – was opened with a 1-0 victory against Bristol City in April 1995.
