I always quite liked visiting old fashioned dumpy groundsI suppose it’s hark back to the pastI don’t really go to a football match looking for the same comfort level as the theatre or the cinema so a post in front of me or scabby toilets don’t really bother me to be honestGoodison Park, Elland Road, Craven Cottage, Bramal lane etc all Premier League grounds last season were My favourites above all the new identikit type grounds with soulless atmospheres but hey they got wider the walkwaysI realise I’m probably in the minority

Incredibly uncomfortable.Great view, but an awful place to sit and watch football.Quote from: Ads on June 16, 2021, 11:23:08 AMIf this season goes sommothly fan wise, the ugly bugger will be torn down next summer and probably only Jimbo will be sorry to see it go.Quote from: Ads on June 16, 2021, 11:23:08 AMIf this season goes sommothly fan wise, the ugly bugger will be torn down next summer and probably only Jimbo will be sorry to see it go.I'll miss it, the atmosphere, value and view the season we came back were fantastic. Sort that disgraceful Witton Lane stand out first.

it's a balancing act of trying to upgrade the team and the Stadium at the same time.

Jesus, I fucked those quotes up good and proper.
Can't believe the gantry, press and media used to be in the Doug. Did they all used to kick-off about how shit and cramped it was? No wonder we often had bad reviews of our games by the London press. Nowt to do with regularly getting beat by the scab-six obvs...
