I presume there must have been a shortlist of designs and "they" settled for this tacky mish-mash. Surely the club could include the fan advisory board if not all club members in a vote between the shortlisted designs and save all this aggravation?
It's obviously a deliberate clumsy marketing strategy:
Year A - release an ugly non-traditional shirt and annoy a large section of fans
Year B - return to stripes to appease those you annoyed the previous year
Southampton have cynically been doing it for years...
You are absolutely correct, this should not be a major public order situation though obviously it does need to be properly policed. We are generally only talking about 200 south London black hoodie wearers who are easily wrapped-up by the old-bill when they emerge from Wetherspoons who are...
I'm interested in your opinion Dougie; if I were a Palace fan (thank God I wasn't born in Croydon) I reckon I would think that this proposed stand is a daft vanity project and will probably bankrupt the club (again). Why not build a 2 or 3 deck stand that matches the style of the Holmesdale end...
I wasn't aware that Rangers fans had thoughts...I thought that their default setting was to shout "SURRENDER OR YOU'LL DIE" the second they see anything green...
The stupid thing is that if they ever built this monstrosity they would change a ground which has 4 completely mismatched stands into a ground that still has 4 completely mismatched stands. The obvious thing to do would be to replace the corrugated iron old stand with one that matches the style...
Agreed, but what a drum can do is coordinate the crowd for certain songs. As we all know The Amex suffers from different groups each doing their own thing.
1. Anyone who voted Leave
2. Anyone who drives a 4WD but lives in an urban area
3. Anyone who installs plastic double glazing/plastic door in a period house
Oh blimey, not this again; if you don't want to stand in the safe standing zone then you can have a seat in a seated area. If it comes at the Amex it would probably be one section of the NS.
It's been discussed elsewhere but Pistol is excellent and captures that time very much as I remember it. Great casting, great visually, and obviously great music...
"TBF"??? Why would anyone be fair about Nazi Germany! And besides Nazi doctrine was for the eradication of all Europe's jews not just those within the Third Reich. And invading neighbouring countries to create liebensraum for the master race was central to their entire philosophy. They left...
Stoning is still legal in Saudi though is only occasionally used these days; they mainly rely on beheading and in March executed 81 people in one day for a range of 'crimes' including "participating in sit-ins and protests". Those executed are usually from the Shia minority. Toon Army...
If I were Scottish would I want to be associated with:
- the ongoing slow-motion Brexit carcrash?
- breaking international law by shafting the N.ireland Protocol to shore-up a few Unionist votes in Parliament?
- the current low-calibre low morals government?
- dumping refugees in Rwanda?
I...
