Slightly different when mostly standing though. One could argue the capacity was nearer 25,000 and 35,000 is absolutely crammed/squeezed all in. Also, seating takes more space so 35k all seater needs more physical space than 35k with majority standing. Also, with many standing, it "looks" far...

I appreciate what you are saying but didn't we do the opposite? We made a 22,500 stadium. Demand has been so high that expansion was required. Boro started off with 35,000 and and at the peak was 4/5,000 empty seats every game. It was mid-late 20s for much of that time as well. The drop a...

Back to the topic of the stadium size, it's not the fault of their fans. The club simply, imo, made the stadium 5k too large.

Arguably, things need changing but nationalisation is NOT the way forward. Strikes when staff don't get rises Powercuts for days/weeks on end whilst "negotiations" go on Wage demands ultimately met (no choice) resulting in higher bills to pay for it Failing equipment/services that take AGES to...

I can oly assume the design of the corner was changed from when it was built to he new plans. Otherwise, it does seem odd.

So basically, it comes down to how you define poverty. Those in Easterhouse, I rather suspect, have (as well as a roof over their head), hot/cold water, heathcare/doctors, food (not starving at least) etc. If so, they're not (under the definition of absolute poverty) in poverty. Your (and...

I see you've evaded my questions about Easterhouse. Please let me know where the poverty is please so we can arrange for them to have hot/cold running water, food, a roof over their head, access to healthcare/doctors etc. But I rather suspect, even in very poor areas, they have access to all...

What does where I am "happy" to live got to do with anything? Anyway, do people in Easterhouse have a roof over their head?, are they literally starving? Do they have hot/cold running water? Do they have access to healthcare/doctors? If the answer is no to all of those then yes, they are in...

Poverty is not relative, it is absolute. How poor one is, IS relative. To imply poverty is relative is to trivialise those that really are in poverty and need help. Whilst there *may* be a debate on "relative" poverty in various 3rd world countries, in this country it's a joke to even think...

True, however it was a new stadium then, many away fans have now been so the novelty factor isn't there as much. The prices won't have helped, however that's only part of the cost for away fans (travel mainly).

Evening kick off, on Sky etc. They'd bring the whole lot if a Sat game and no Sky.

But for all you know he DOES keep Poyet/Tanno updated. You're simply speculating (or making stuff up). People really need to stop believing stuff they read in the local rag too (as per other thread, they're just filling up column inches, they don't care if what they write is true or not).

So, surely this sillyness should be aimed at Hoskins as well, he's "always" injured too....... He's often injured, that's a given but if he wasn't we'd never have got him in the first place. Non-injury prone and he'd walk into a lot bigger clubs than us. It's worth having him as even if he...

In support of the OPs point, see the difference is reaction to the Bale dive and the Suarez dive. Both were cheating but Bale's was the "lighter side of football" but Suarez (equally comical :D) was blatant cheating and "should be banned" etc. On the Suarez incident, what's worse, him trying to...

LOL thread fail :D

Steak & Ale pie was fine for me, as it has been each time I've been. No complaints.

Looks like BBC have fixed it. Surprised that both BBC AND Sky were wrong.

It appears all the main websites have loads of scores wrong. Huddersfield won 1:0 according to the BBC but check the report and the lost 2:3 despite the score being 1:0! Loads of other results wrong too. Anyone know why it's all wrong. Sky sports website and app also all wrong.

Agreed but that's what most clubs report these days so, to compare, all figures need to be equivalent.
