[Albion] Albion not happy with the council .....

[Herr Tubthumper]

To be fair, I'd guess he was speaking off the cuff.

Good job he was only speaking. The council must be in constant fear of receiving electronic communication from Barber.....I doubt their servers are sufficiently sized to cope.

Blimey, I see what they mean now. What a piece of crap.

Having gone balls-deep in designing such an iconic, aesthetically pleasing stadium, I'm amazed they came up with such a shabby generic bolt-on shoebox design for the adjacent hotel. It totally spoils the look of the eastern side of the stadium.

It's like plonking a 1970's prefab next to the Taj Mahal.

Shame the club got a bit above themselves and just assumed that crap Nissan Hut design would be a shoo-in. Fingers burned, lessons learned hopefully. That IKEA will be a thing of absolute beauty

who the **** talks like that

Not the man-in-the-street, but then football doesn’t pander to us anymore.

 

[Wardy's twin]

That's scarcely the council's doing. Residents were complaining about football parking so the council surveyed people's views: there was an overwhelming vote for parking restrictions. If the council had ignored that demand, they'd have got merry hell for not acting on people's wishes - you can't have a referendum on something and not enact it when you don't like the result,

Then you need to be very careful when going for a referendum and leaving decisions to people who only think short term benefits.

The word is cough. There are no asterixs in it.

The best thing the council could do to attract visitors is to empty the bins and clear up the streets.
One thing that I agree with Barber about though is the council practice of charging people to film in the city. It needs coordinating, yes, but every time the city appears on film or tv it is a free advert.

Doesn't need to be in capitol letters either.

And, it's asterisks.

A bit higher and they could’ve got extra seating on the top of that.

The "cough" and "asterisk" debate has reminded me of an Army course I did back in the Seventies. Our tutor was writing on a flip-chart things that we, the class, found irritating. He'd just written "nit picking" when one Smart Alec put his hand up and asked "Shouldn't nit picking be hyphenated?" Classic.

Really? I wasn't aware......

Mods, can we please have this merged with the Brexit thread?
