Old Trafford is huge, but it’s really crap inside. I was in with the home fans for our win, and I’ve never been in a smaller, more cramped seat, with everybody virtually sat on top of each other, and I’ve experienced the Doug Ellis.

Great to get away from though, I was back home from Manchester in two hours, when usually trying to escape from Villa Park, I’m lucky if I’m on the M6 in that time.

Still 13,000 seats available (excluding season ticket holders) for Southampton at home in March 2022.  Absolute disgrace.  Hope they are ringing and apologising to all those on the waiting list.

The so-called 20000 on the so-called waiting list should have snapped up every one of those tickets by now.  DISGRACE.

Yeah we only parked 10 mins away and were out in no time, it was really noticeable.

Where the hell do you park?  I'm on the M6 within half an hour, pretty much every time.  Usually less than that.

You do wonder how the traffic situation has deteriorated since we were relegated, it used to be that there was a temp one way system introduced after the game to clear traffic away from the area so that the locals weren’t inconvenienced for long. Now its a free for all with two way traffic and chaos for hours afterward

They need to go back to this. It’s a good point about the locals, how on earth do they get to and from work or whatever on Saturdays?

If we were going to "out of town" it, a bit further north towards the Belfry and Bodymoor would be more appropriate.

Never in a million years.

That was Juve and the hated Stadio della Alpi.

Apparently the San Siro is run down, when I went in 1990 it was like a spaceship from the future had landed in a big car park, it's hard for me to imagine it being a bit knackered.

How are you compared to 30 years' ago, Lee? A bit knackered, perhaps?!
I know I am

He’s more the equivalent of The Sty these days I believe.

The facade isn't too bad, still a 32in waist, but structurally I'm fucked, no way I'd get a safety certificate.

Matching the future-vibes by rocking the new Sony Discman with Violator pumping out of the headphones ?!

I'm all for staying and redeveloping, but if we did have to move it doesn't have to be to a soulless bowl - take a look at these for inspiration - https://www.sportingnews.com/us/nfl/list/ranking-nfl-stadiums-from-worst-to-best/dky07jdst5w1mcy7cgsm7q6s

The Lucas Oil Stadium is simply astounding!

Ha ha, no the Discman was acquired the following Christmas.

Pretty sure Violater was recorded in Milan too.
