There won't be many teams who double their home attendance next season, over the one just finished, as looks likely in our case!

Went to Turkey in the late 80's, back-packing around that area, stayed in Marmaris, Fethiye, Bodrum and Turunc. Have to say that I loved it there, as pointed out the people were very friendly, food was excellent (freshly baked bread, honey, cheese and olives makes a fantastic breakfast)...went...

We haven't had a ground capable of holding that number of people since about 1975...so it is pretty hard to compare, there are games when we could fairly easily have had that amount...I couldn't get into the FA Cup game against Pompey, despite getting there an hour before kick off, there were...

This, overdid it massively at times in my 20's and early 30's, then got completely bored of alcohol, its effects and the drinks culture...so I gradually reduced my intake and finally gave the stuff up about 7 or 8 years ago. Occasionally at first I used to yearn for a decent pint of beer, but...

I would guess that they will finish that off, like all other parts of the stadium, when the seats are installed...which probably isn't that far off, it would be a waste of money installing something then having to tear it out a season or two later.

I have always wanted to do this: :needpics:

I went there twice back in about 2004/5, the second time was for a funeral, the wake of which was held at the Riverside in one of the hospitality suites. The young man whose funeral it was had worked for Boro when he was a student and was a lifelong fan. I have to say that the welcome I...

I would take the get to the Premiership and not spend ludicrous amounts trying to stay there approach, if you get away with it then the money will roll in from all the sponsorship and tv deals...if not, you still get a fair amount and invest it in trying to get back again, in effect mirroring...

...which also applies when you are heading south!!!

Love the work of Anthony Gormley, so it has to be this:

Chuffed for Swansea but heard someone from the club on the radio earlier who said that they aimed to emulate Stoke in their approach to the Premiership, so I guess that means the end of the beautiful passing game that got them there in the first place!

The performances by Blatter in the last few days remind me of the end of some of the World's great dictators, they deny everything that has gone on during their watch, that they are not responsible for it and some phoney ethics committee has cleared them of all wrongdoing...finally, pressure...

This is like a flash-back to the times when communism was the order of the day in Eastern Europe, they had nominal elections with only one candidate and no visible or audible opposition.

England in surprise test victory, not a headline you see very often...nice one!!!

Blatter live on the tv right now...if that wasn't a besieged and guilt ridden man rolling out an over-sized carpet, under which to sweep the allegations, then I am a Chinaman! All I can say is thank goodness that Ratko Mladic will be tried in the Hague and not by the FIFA Ethics Committee...

Andy Mangan?

Yeah, but you can decorate without constant interruptions or distractions, have the radio on listening to the footy/cricket/music , then get to go to the pub for a few pints and some food...what is not to like!

Somewhere I used to live there was a bloke called Kent Clarke...all his workmates referred to him as man-super!
