==History==
It has been the home of Watford since 1922, when the club moved from Cassio Road.〔Trefor Jones (1996). ''The Watford Football Club Illustrated Who's Who.'' T.G. Jones. p. 9. ISBN 0-9527458-0-1.〕 The ground was officially opened by Col. Charles Healey of Benskins Brewery for the visit of Millwall on 30 August 1922. In addition to being Watford's home since opening, the stadium was also home to Wealdstone F.C. between 1991 and 1993,〔(Wealdstone Football Club history ). Wealdstone Football Club Supporters Club. Accessed 2 October 2011.〕 and to rugby union side Saracens from 1997 until they moved to their new home at Allianz Park in February 2013.〔Allnutt, Tom (22 January 2013). ("Saracens: 'Thank you Watford FC'" ). ''Watford Observer''. Retrieved 25 January 2012.〕
After purchasing the freehold of the stadium from Benskins in January 2002, Watford's financial situation forced them to sell and lease back the stadium later that year.〔David Conn (21 September 2002). (New owners of Vicarage Road revealed as Watford wither ). ''The Independent''. Accessed 2 May 2014.〕 However, after a campaign entitled 'Let's Buy Back The Vic' with donations coming from fans, as well as celebrity former owner Elton John donating the entire proceeds of a concert held at the venue, the club was able to repurchase the stadium in September 2004.〔Graham Simpson (31 March 2005). (Watford Leisure PLC: Interim Results for the six months ended 31 December 2004 ). Watford Leisure PLC. Accessed 30 September 2011.〕
