    Don't be bloody ridiculous.
  2. Would anyone like to see us have permanent 2nd colours ? Like the home kit the design changes but everyone knows "black and white stripes", have a similar plan for the 2nd strip ?
  3. Might just be me but I still think we have a bit of an issue breaking teams down if they just park the bus. I struggle to think of a team I've ever seen so lethal on the break though.
  4. They have a fair few injuries and I'm feeling far too confident.
  5. Re all the boomer shit. (I'm a gen x'er btw). I've recently read loads about the generation divides and Bobby Duffy's "The generation divide" is a good, enlightening read.

    Would you rather they build more permanent structures to pull down in months (shop) or 2 or 3 yrs (fan zone) ?
  7. Right now it's true. 2,3,4yrs time though, could be a vastly different story.
  8. She does say "we want you to work from the North to the South"
  9. It's not so much that as that after our last home game his season there's still so much to play for. Normally the last home game is kind of the end of things as usually when the last game is away its been a bit of a dead rubber.

    I might try pushing the idea in the pub tomorrow that they are looking at the idea and see if it gets any bites.

    Re the light issue. Build a new massive fuck off stand with a mirror on it to reflect light down on to another mirror on the back of the new stand thus reflecting light on to Leazes Terrace. A bit like Rjukan in Norway and Viganella in Italy. I dont even know if I'm being serious.
  12. I haven't prayed since primary school but.......

    It's called turning round. I know the tunnel continues west beyond the station so not sure if there's a junction up there to swap platforms. Only ever used it once so can't really remember.
  14. We're the same rules in place ? If not then it's more than just spending more then others.

    There's other ways of invreasing revenue from the ground making a 7 day facility for one. Better quality on match days (food and drink rather than the crap beer and pie we currently have) and in more space so more people use it. I know these should be done even with a new and bigger stadium but for me personally a new ground ultimately would be that, a new ground that I have little attachment to. I've been going to SJP since the early 70s and seen it evolve. Re your 2nd paragraph, I disagree, the size of the ground wasn't much of a draw, the potential of the fan base was the draw.
