Watford have been at Vicarage Road since 1922 when they left their previous ground, Cassio Road, to head to a new home. The club has also had a long-standing relationship with a giant amongst giants of the music industry, Sir Elton John. The lifelong supporter of the club became its chairman in 1976 and has maintained an active role in club affairs ever since. He even has one of the stands named after him in recognition of his work on behalf of the club. The club gained promotion to the Premier League at the end of the 2014-2015 season after finishing second to Bournemouth, missing out on top spot by just a point. It was the first time Watford played in the top flight since Aidy Boothroyd managed them there in the 2006-2007 season. Vicarage Road, which was originally owned by Benskins Breweries and has hosted greyhound racing and horse shows in the past, welcomed Premier League fans back for the first time in 8 years for the 2015-2016 season.
