My favourite was the dafty who said we would be stripped of hosting it if we get the ground sponsored.
No, it would just be referred back to as St James’ Park, just like how Dortmund’s ground was renamed in 2006 from Signal Iduna Park and how the Etihad is being renamed in this bid.
Bulgaria v Romania was at 4:30pm on a school day so tight for getting up to the ground for kids, etc. Tickets weren’t exactly cheap at the time either.
I know France v Romania was an evening game but not sure on the other.
Football journos pushing this now in an attempt to unsettle us. Nothing else.
fwiw, I thought it was daft pulling Gordon off as opposed to Joelinton or another player from up top that had been on for the full 90 but he had just gave away two Colback-esque silly free kicks on the left hand side near the halfway line.
