I’d check your facts if I were you. The Goldstone never had a 40,000 crowd. The record was 36,747 against Fulham back in 1958(?). There was an attendance of 35,000 when we played Chelsea in the FA Cup in 1967, and 34,000+ when we played Rochdale in the last game 1971/72 season. Believe me you...
It’s really frustrating when you hear visiting fans moaning about the location of our stadium. FFS! If they actually did a bit of research beforehand and just getting a little knowledge of where they’re heading to they might feel differently. Now we have our fans having a gripe. Tony Bloom has...
As per rugby, you HAVE to leave the field for an H.I.A. (head injury assessment) by a qualified medic/doctor who then states yay or no for the player to continue. The examination takes quite a few minutes. So, alluding to your post, the time off the pitch would certainly curtail ‘fake’ injuries.
Isn’t all to do with certain clubs fans affiliations with other teams fans? In this case Chelsea linked with Rangers and Linfield. Spurs and Aberdeen - remember that hoo-ha back in 2010 when Aberdeen were down for a friendly at Withdean? All a bit football factory-ish, top boys, Stone Island...
Careful what you wish for. When we were struggling in 2018/19 season we had two 0-0 draws. The two points accrued from those results were the difference between survival and relegation.
It looks impressive from outside but once you go through the turnstiles - yuk! Dark, dank and dismal concourse. As for the seats? Well, I can only relate what happened two seasons ago when we won 2-1 in the first match of the season. I went up to OT with my grandson. Found the relevant block and...
In response to your post here are a couple of things to point out (if I’m correct that is!). Firstly, you are within your your rights to ask for a free glass of tap water at any any of the kiosks. Secondly, the policy of banning certain sizes of water bottles, and with tops off, is a security...
Your post reminds me when I was in York for a celebratory long weekend. It also coincided with a meeting at York racecourse. Dozens of young blokes attired in the same clobber as you described milling around in the evening - most of them pissed up and lairy - and from Leeds! Anyway, the funny...
When we played Oxford United at the Manor Ground c1976/77, both Oxford and Albion fans were in the same stand behind the goal. It was an absolute cash fest as coins were raining down from all directions. At the end of the game I decided to trawl the terracing and picked up a tidy sum of around...
If you can hang on a couple of days I’d suggest you pay a visit to the Amex West Upper concourse on Sunday. You will find copious amounts of lard up there. :drink:
Fair enough. I was responding to your other post about Arsenal going down to ten men. Hey ho! That’ll teach me to read ALL the posts before commenting. :thumbsup:
So? We beat Forest 3-2 last year when we went down to ten men. Regardless of Arsenal having ten or eleven players on the pitch you can only play what’s in front of you. We got a draw away from home at one of the favourites to win the title, can’t sniff at that.
