Apparently Boro had to "bite down on the gumshield" to get to half time in extra time.

Are the concrete steps that the seats are currently fitted to being retained? I hope not because that means the legroom isn't going to be improved. That's the second biggest complaint about the NS. The first is the tiny concourses but that's going to be addressed.
I assume so, and yes, that would be another compromise.

No one wants sympathy, just common sense. By the way when my party Reform is in charge we will scrap all this unnecessary  red  tape...so there.

29% win rate when Mings plays. 61% when Pau plays.

Knocking the whole thing down and building a big brand new stand would be proper balls out. Keeping the central core of a stand that's widely regarded as unfit for purpose just feels a bit Doug.
All that is being retained of the existing stand is the concrete frame. A team of professional consultants have clearly advised that this is fit for purpose, or they wouldn’t be re-using it. There are definitely some compromises in re-using this, in terms of restrictions on layout, how it connects to its neighbours, and capacity, but presumably these are all outweighed by the benefits in terms of not having to divert below ground utilities, build period, and presumably cost. Getting to the higher capacity faster also allows the club to test demand I. A way they can’t at the moment,

Doesn't matter what Bielsa thinks. The rule exists. Saints knew it and chose to break it anyway. My sympathy remains at zero.

127 was brought in because of Leeds.
Again totally unnecessary. As Bielsa said "what's the problem?"

I've paid through the nose for a ticket so if  I get a code this late it's very poor.

I was the only one in our lot without a ticket, so didn't want to be on my own waving every other fucker off to the stadium, it would've broken my heart.

I did see a tweet from AVFC support that said all codes had been sent, and that was this morning?
A mate of mine got a code this evening around 5pm

Is a player rolling on the floor feigning injury trying to buy a penalty “acting in the upmost good faith”?
