I was very frustrated when it came to ours taking some 2 years in the actual build, other clubs where whipping up stadia in half that time.
But then, you only build a ground once (well, not often anyway) and the wait was well worth it because we have a quality stadium rather than a 'flat pack'...
Clubs have been warned or had their allocations reduced, because of persistant standing by away fans.
As for ours well, I think fans in general don't like being told what to do. Most would probably be happy in nice seats where the view is good but once stewards start insisting people sit then...
Am so glad you were able to get the tickets and well done to whoever answered your prayers. Truly great to see how made up he is and the wonder of that 1st Amex moment!
Yes, i agree with Pork Pie. Also, we were able to convince the majoirity non-football population that we had a cause and they could see how we had been wronged and a City our size needed a ground to match. If we still had the Goldstone and had some 10k turning up, I don't think we would have had...
You may have someting there with Sheridan (and Coventry). Somehow not quite convinced it was Senderson. Alex Sheridan was one of sawards 1st signings the previous season. He didn't quite work out but could well have featured in a pre-season friendly.

As for the 2nd pic, I think it's Kit napier with his back to us and Kenny Beamish is the player facing.
He was a 'big money' (£35,000) signing from Tranmere, where he was a regular scorer especially against us. A bustling forward with a cracking shot, big favourite in a very...
Am amazed that you've all made it thus far and I'll be making a donation next payday (Thursday).
Mind you, am abit annoyed about you lot. Seems Albion must have cut down their beer order, with the slump in sales this month, and it was hard to find any after the match!
After trouble gettin service/pie & pint in WSL after the last match, thought I'd have my pie & pint in WSU for the 1st time after a match.
Pretty crowded & no pies. When I got to WSL it was rammed and no pies, but these can be found if you head towards the South and there's a kiosk on the...
This is a nice glimpse into the future when Lewes Road will be one bike lane, one bus and one for everything else. Total chaos and quite annoying that they were laying a nice new surface where the central 'islands' were yet seem to have no funds for fixing pot holes on so many of the roads on...
