It should be possible to expand SJP to 70k or so even with the constraints of leases terrace. The yellow wall at dortmund is c.25k behind the goal. Why couldn’t we have that behind each goal? We’re then at 50k plus milburn and east stand. Another idea could be to demolish the east stand completely and build it back as the corporate hospitality area with the boxes effectively stacked on top of each other meaning the stand doesn’t have to take such a large footprint. Maybe then put a giant screen on top of it

The history of SJP, the memories and all of that were of such importance to us because we had no realistic chance of enjoying anything else. This is different. Build me the biggest stadium in the world. I want wine rooms, cheese rooms, falafel rooms and all of that shit. As much income as possible so that we can spend as much as possible. No fans locked outside

Fuck off you fat fuck

I don't post on here often (despite reading every day) but tonight is the night! I've just been out at a corporate function where I've been reliably informed that Ashley bought the club as a bet - and the bet was that he could turn a profit out of football. Nothing that hasn't been mentioned on here before but thought I would add my tuppence to the debate - the source is 100% concrete,somebody who has personally made several business deals with Ashley over the last few years and I trust them beyond doubt (read my limited previous posts - I'm not a sensationalist person) Anyway, feel free to slate this post and call me a Martin jol Itk bullshitting c#nt but I'm not! Genuinely feeling gutted that my club is a trivial pursuit to the fcb and that there is no sign of getting out of this current malaise whilst he still breathes!

Yes Ashley is a prick but this site is getting ridiculous at the moment. I think that people should stop posting their ridiculous take on the finances of the club (when they clearly don't know what they are talking about) and using it as yet another reason to slag off Ashley. We all get it and we all agree that he is a Twat but some of the posts re: 'Ashley making massive profits out of selling the club after buying it for free' are just doing my head in. But hey why not sensationalise the fuck out of the situation..

Ai a saw that! There was this black lad going guckn mental at him, smahing anything that moved! Stewards found the Geordie guy on the floor but didn't touch any if the qpr lads, was good viewing!!

How do you quantify that? Given that most on here claim that we are a "big club" based on historical success rather than current achievements I find this quite funny! As an interesting aside I was at the Burnley V Bolton game on boxing day and the Bolton fans were chanting for Coyle throughout the game .... brought back memories of the SJP crowd trying to woo Kluivert Bolton could with the right manager stay in the division for years (as they have done) Burnley will go down and never come back within the next two, or they might get a fluky run and keep up for two and go down in the third like Hull (prays for that or even this season) and the likes. This is Burnley's tidemark, it wont get any better, especially if they lose their manager. Alternatively I could see a situation where Bolton go down this season and fade into Championship mediocrity. They get fuck all fans as it is in the Premiership, how many would they get for a home game against Plymouth? Burnley on the other hand are a team who will keep the majority of their fans. I think it was mentioned about the possibility of expanding stadiums etc earlier, well tbh neither would expand their stadiums. Bolton don't have the fans, and as for Burnley the town is just too small to warrant a bigger stadium. Are you aware that Burnley used this seasons TV money to pay off all of their debts, buy back Turf Moor and the training facilities, rather than spunk the lot on wages for mercenaries. That would leave a sizeable chunk to spend on the playing staff next season should they remain in the premier league. Either way, I don't think it should be overlooked just how good a job Coyle has done. Graham Alexander playing PL centre mid for god's sake!

Seriously? After considering how well the sale of the club went last time with 7 bidders fighting it out? After considering the methods Ashley uses in his other business (70% off sales which never end, shops which are closing down but never close)? The new season's less than a month away and we've done NOTHING yet to prepare for it when this off season requires double the work it normally would. How can anyone not be anxious? I can only think your lack of anxiety is down to the fact you wouldn't mind him staying on and are happy with Kinnear as manager. I find it hard to believe Ashley won't sell now, but he's already done so many things that even I couldn't believe he would do, that I just wouldn't put anything past him now. Finally! Been reading this at work on my phone praying that somebody would realise this on here.

This shower managed to pull their fingers out at old trafford and stamford bridge. Here's hoping...

FC BATE Borisov through to the champions league knocking out levski sofia. They currently compete in the Belarusian Premier League and are the reigning champions. Their home stadium is the Borisov City Stadium (capacity 5500!!)

Erm it says newcastle asked to keep it quiet ........ not milner
