The obvious tribute would be to name the new hospitality areas planned at the North Stand end after Mac, and maybe feature a large yellow M on a red background as the symbol.

Best avoid the SE corner, Argentina might try to claim it as theirs.

This may be true but I am not seeing it, literally. I gave up my season ticket due to illness and last season and this have therefore been to around a dozen games only. Despite picking some games that I knew we would win, eg Norwich, Forest and the like, in those dozen games I have not seen us...

If they are sitting on their hands, at least they have less chance to grab your wallet I suppose.

Ritz Amusements looked another nice old building that was demolished that could have been ‘re-purposed’. Maybe it’s been built on by now but remember that being an empty space for many years, didn’t know what was there before until this picture.

There will only be 19 badges next season, as Villa are copying Chelsea’s it seems: https://www.itv.com/news/central/2022-11-11/does-aston-villas-new-club-crest-look-familiar

It could all kick off if Bournemouth and Fulham fans get into the home end. The chances of getting hit by a rolled up copy of the Guardian appear greater than zero.

That’s hard to read at 90mph 70mph

You should get a set of accounts annually to be able to see where the money has been spent. Sometimes the extra costs are for future works that are drawn from the funds already charged, and building up such a fund is not uncommon as long as the future spend is reasonable and details of it are...

And anyone caught breaking the rules will be sent to Siberia Middlesbrough

Just a word of warning to anyone driving. Last time I went, my sat nav in a fairly new Golf tried to send me over the famous transporter bridge near the ground, as featured in Auf Wiedersehen, Pet. Given that most of the time it is suspended in mid air and not joined to either side of the water...

Out of interest, and mixing threads a bit, what’s the general view at Wet Spam about David Gold? I know the atmosphere there was toxic for quite a while and the Gollivans were not popular.

Well I’m not sure about that. They did sell the ground to another company in the group and Blues had to pay rent to play in it. A third of the capacity is shut with no money to repair it. More than £100m in debt, solvent when it was sold by Gold/Sullivan. Every decent player sold in the last...

I used to see him in the Bentley D6OLD quite a lot but never actually met him. From the Birmingham City fans I know opinion was divided. Nice guy, had the club’s interests at heart for 16 years as chairman, but ultimately left under a cloud and sold the club down the river to owners that...

I will be in Zurich in May. If I bump into him, I will be sure to pass on the feedback!

He is doing it on behalf of everyone with freckles or ginger hair or, worse still, both. To get to where his has done with that start in life is nothing short of remarkable.

Could we not do a ticker tape style reception with all the confiscated bottle tops?

That’s apparently similar to what Elton John used to do for Watford games when he was touring!

Only bad bike crash I ever had was coming off a friend’s Chopper (the bicycle, of course) in Redhill Drive. Spent a while picking the gravel out of my wounds but it had a speedo and was on something pushing 30mph when I came off! Didn’t try that trick again, much better than a simple Health...
