Cut off your nose much?

I'm jesting, but its what they deserve.

I do tend to agree, the 1997 proposals for 'Castle Leazes Moor' should have been more forcibly supported by our City Council.

Watching the Fulham game, anyone notice the "stage" type construction near East stand/Gallowgate corner?

Looks like a boxing ring 🤣

Just a gantry for TV broadcasts, isn’t it?

Not there, it's not been there any game before tonight anyway.

They built it a few weeks back to get the pundits 'outside' and help with distancing etc. There's a few grounds have them while there's no fans in.

Ah ok, seems a weird thing to do with it being in the East stand.

Cheers.

Guess it means the pundits can stand there with the two 'new' stands in the background, better backdrop.

I've seen the pundits standing there in previous broadcasts so its been there a while.

Wasn't there for the Everton game, but was for Chelsea.

First time I've noticed it last night, guess that's how exciting Bruce ball is. 😁

Not sure if these have been posted in here before, but here's some pics of Westwood's planned super stadium from 1972. Needless to say, it didn't happen.

The money that must have disappeared through the club, when the likes of Westwood were running the show. ::

The images were there a few hours ago, but they are not there now.

bars around central and centre for life would be rammed, haymarket etc would die off on a matchday

disagree with that. some will start at haymarket and have some round there and gradually move towards the ground as they do now.
