I remember standing at the gates on the corner of the Millburn/Leases in 95 against QPR trying to get any glimpse we could when Beardsley nestled one in the stanchion and we all burst into the ground during the celebrations. Some reet owld bastards were screaming at the stewards to get us all kicked out. Was just amazing as a teenager to actually get in the ground back then. Cup games and Europe were your only chance.

I'm unsure as to whether we can pull the size of crowds some on here think we can. You talk about Man City sharing a city but Greater Manchester is about two and a half times the size of Tyne and Wear which we share with another team also. 60-65k with a winning team, sure. Anything beyond that I'm not convinced.

Yeah I was thinking of a more vertical stand using the same footprint maybe adding a few thousand on the capacity. Surely this could be possible, no?

I have doubts that we could fill 70-80k consistently. I'd prefer an expanded Gallowgate and a redesign of the East stand to bring capacity up to 60-65k I think that is a more realistic capacity to fill week in week out.

My stream went down late second half yesterday so missed his appearance. So he is officially shite now??? What a come down.

I have a few sensible mackem mates. Great blokes day and night, I can talk football with them no bother as long as it's not Newcastle because then a watered down version of the shit on rtg comes out. Wish it wasn't like that to be honest.

Scores this weekend I think.

I can still remember the exact moment at school aged about 14 when I heard about his sale. That's how huge it was. Total shock.

Don't bite lads. No one has to justify KK.

I believe in Manq! Would hate to lose Trippier for weeks and weeks.

You lot have even got me questioning if I heard it right! pretty sure I did hear it but yes it was said in a speculative way.

Burn and Manq?

Listening to the podcast, Chris Waugh said he doesn't expect him to start against Villa.

Any slick reaction to last night video from Bruno yet?

Tear in me eye watching that. Man I miss going so much now. Still on cloud nine here like.

Barely slept last night I was on such a high. Haven't felt like this in god knows how long. Probably a decade!

The noise after the second and third goals man.

I knew my good feeling about this lad was right. Just what we need.

I'm racking my brains but cannot remember his name but I'm sure it wasn't Cecil. He had curly hair iirc. Can still remember my confusion one time when he asked me if I was "working tomorrow?" I was thinking why's he asking me if I'm walking for? He knaas I always ride me bike! He was a canny bloke though. He chipped me PS1 and sold us games for the price of a blank cd.

I was born in North Shields and grew up in Monkseaton/Whitley Bay. The bloke who ran the Newsagents where I did my paper round was from Ashington. We used to piss ourselves laughing at him whenever he spoke. Class days. The northeast man, what a mint place it is really.

Seems like such a normal lad. Not what you'd expect a Premier League footballer to be like. I like him, I hope he does well for us.

I think it looked better with the boxes on the east stand an aarl.

I'm not from here but I live in Thornley. It's not that bad. Certainly not as bad as Wheatley Hill or god forbid.... Shotton Colliery. That place makes the ridges look like Beverly Hills.

Fwiw, I know 2 people from Stanley. Not related and both are mackems.

Honestly, most of them haven't stood the test of time. They are pretty dated. Most can be found on YouTube. The last one I did "NUFC feeling a moment" is pretty good I think and stirs the blood after the takeover but if I could take the Owen goal out of it I would!
