It nearly happened in 1981 when Spurs played Wolves in the FA Cup semi final when 38 fans were injured including broken bones. In 1987 Leeds played Coventry there and Leeds fans reported overcrowding in the central pen. Changes following the 1981 incident invalidated the safety certificate and...

It's a fair question to ask.

I sit in the WSU so unlikely to directly effect me but whilst I don't have anything against safe standing I think the stadium was designed as an all seater and if safe standing was brought in some season ticket holders would have to be moved. For all those saying the club are being disingenuous...

And people moan about our away ticket system...

In the last ten years or so people have become more selfish with their parking. My flats have garages and about once every six months someone decides to park in front of mine, which usually ends with a note on the windscreen asking them not to do it again but one guy decided to park his work's...

Are they looking after the nuclear missiles stored there?

I think the difference between now and the late 70s/early 80s period is there does seem to be long term planning in place that you would hope would mean we wouldn't fall quite so far again.

TBF Chelsea have had some success with it but I am not sure they had the setup behind the scenes to ensure constant success between head coaches.

Had he not be headhunted from us, I would have thought it quite admirable that Chelsea went for an up and coming English coach, although I am still the opinion they got a bit nervous about Southgate not continuing after the World Cup and accelerated their plans to secure Potter ahead of the...

I think it is a reasonable assumption to conclude RDZ teams are likely to score more goals than Potter ones but they might concede more silly goals. From a Brighton perspective this is an academic conversation now. However it took Potter a while to get his ideas across to the players at...

Up to and including the point Potter left - so putting RDZ to one side - he was the most successful manager in BHAFC history. Admittedly to get to that stage he had to be supported by Bloom through some of the less successful stages (which he might not from other Chairman) and he had access to...

I ordered my ticket as part of the first batch and got it the week before the match so it seems to be varying wildly.

Having been in bed most of the week with a bug I decided not to risk going over so have listed mine, if anyone of looking for a seat in the second row of the middle of WSU.

Haven't kept that accurate a record but including the Amex a cursory glance of the league suggest I have been to 43 of the current league grounds. Will be 44 after Middlesborough away. Have been to Layer Road at Colchester but not the new ground and have seen a game at Oxford United but not...

Haven't done anything on NYE for years so shall enjoy an early evening out before returning home* *Hopefully

This is worthy of a serious discussion and not a third rate attempt at humour. Football is only a mirror to society and it tends to lag a little behind wider society when it comes to progressive attitudes, for example racism and homophobia were fairly common until recently. I don't for a...

I kind of get she is doing it on behalf the family but setting up a standing order and baring people who don't pay by December 1st is going a bit too far.

Not sure what the club can do about a train strike or fixtures getting moved for TV.

The club let the problem develop and didn't act early enough, didn't do what they said they would do on the night and that statement isn't good enough by a long chalk. However there would have to had reached an agreement with Charlton before putting tickets on sale and the postal strike wasn't...

Just noticed you only get 5 loyalty points for Middlesborough. I imagine that has been done to stop people harvesting points but it also stops people doing what I did a few years back and go to low demand games up north and build up loyalty points.
