The Stadium is in the AONB of the South Downs National Park. One of the key design considerations (to obtain approval) was to sympathetically model the stadium to mirror the undulations of the Downs. Hence we have the distinctive shape of the Amex. Why the North isn’t bigger or deeper within...
The North Stand, the home end - the club needs a specific plan for this part of the ground. It’ll never be bigger so it needs rethinking. Safe standing - yes. Do something (graphical) with the wall-expanse behind the seats to make it look more imposing. If they put a small platform of seating...
Getting permission to build the f***ing thing is what they were thinking. It’s a compromised design because of the very real army of objectors over a dozen years and two public enquiries.
Hollingbury boy. Dad took me to Wolves in 1969. Properly hooked when Mullers got us going and Wardy was national (back page) news. Still bewildered watching my club (out)playing the behemoths of the PL.
All good points. The issue is it's hereditary wealth and privilege, and the Monarchy is the pinnacle of the 'establishment' which - members of - will protect furiously to the detriment of every citizen (or subjects if that's your subservient bag). Then there's the national anthem... :ROFLMAO:
Game of opinions - as always. Thought Ferguson looked sharper than he has for a calendar year. Equal game amongst two changed sides. Liverpool clinical, Albion not so.
Table Mountain
Cape Point (just remember it’s expensive to get into the nature reserve)
Robben Island
Rust en Vrede for lunch in Stellenbosch
Stellenbosch is a fab place for a couple of nights
Get down to Plettenberg (great beach) and try to get a reservation at Treetops restaurant
Kariega game...
Nowhere near: Lemina, Ait-Nouri and Cuhna are all excellent footballers. We should’ve been out of sight yesterday but we gave Wolves a sniff and they f***ed us over
An extremely poor individual error by MW. 3-1 turned into 2-2 on the basis of his pass. It happens. It’s unfortunate. But THAT was the turning point. He & we know it.
