Drury definitely needs a hard drive checked. Absolute nonce.

Win this and the title charge is on.

I love SJP. I love the match day. I love town on a match day. So much fucking abject misery in my 40 years of being here, interspersed with great moments with the culmination of fuck all really at SJP - but I still love it. Had a good time even when we were shit, until I didn't. I'd be happy to rebuild from the ground up, but thats never going to be an option nor baring some miraculous feat of engineering would it see us right for the next 30+ years. Nor are we going to relocate elsewhere whilst it is teared down and then rebuilt so I'd say this isn't an option. Clagging something extra on it isn't a value for money option either given the investment needed and the limited returns. Frankly, a new stadium in the city centre is the only logical and best value for money choice. Despite obviously planning hurdles, it could happen...I don't actively see an issue with it if I take my sentiments away from the argument.

Currently entire generations are locked out on a weekly basis, whether we like it or not. And there's simply nothing which can be done about it. Other than waiting for people to die, unable to afford etc, and those tickets not get passed onto someone else.

Its not just the plebs like you and me capacity though, its the corporate offerings and its the additional things the stadium can be used for too. Last season I got a tour of the Etihad (as my uncle knows their commercial director). Anyway, they have a 360 degree corporate experience around the ground - literally the entire ground. Ranging from basic, to ala carte and private boxes. Whether you agree with it or not (I don't) the amount of revenue that can bring in is exceptional. SJP being expanded/modernised without a complete rebuild, this is impossible to offer. As its been discussed on here, we rarely get concerts at SJP and lose out to the mackems as access around the stadium is literally impossible and specialist expensive kit is needed to do it. And lastly, whether we like it or not, NFL and AEW events like Wembley/Spurs etc get bring in a fuck tonne of cash too. None of those are possible without a complete rebuild of SJP. Unless they are wanting to build Gateshead Stadium into a 35k stadium, or build a temporary ground, they will not be rebuilding SJP. They will not be forcing people to travel to Stade Del Plop, Bellend Road, Hamden Park, Ibrox or such for our home games. We've all talked about this at length. Whether we like or it not, SJP in its current guise does not give us the capacity to grow revenue, grow the support or (bleh) help PSR. I'm of the opinion that, nostalgic and historic reasoning aside, you take those glasses off, a new stadium is 100% the way to go - IF, big IF, it is in the City Centre area. We simply can't lose that, it would devastate the city in more ways than one. Stay still you get left behind and all that jazz.

I mean a 'rockstar' enjoying the vices that come with it isn't exactly a new thing. Can't say re: the drugs but he definitely loves being on the pop having witnessed it first hand in the low lights and him being fucking steaming.

I do enjoy this bullshit that they peddle man. Literally mates with one of my work mates, and I'm mates with his manager from school, and any of this kind of shite needs calling out for the utter turd that it is.

Nope. He did.

Won one. Its a Christmas miracle.

Pretty sure thats the case as I've tried to buy one for my inlaws who only have a supporter number, and it won't let me assign anything to them when in basket.

Baring any injuries or international fatigue, it'll be Kelly for Burn, and then the same starting 11 IMO.

I know we joke about this.... However between me and my cousin this season, we've had 1 success for every single ballot entered this season. That is a horrendous percentage. 1/22 iirc? Its only our persistence and refreshing skills that means we've not missed a single game. I know the ratio has changed in terms of what goes into ballot and what goes on general membership sale/queue, but christ.

Probably actually paid our way, unlike those cheapskates at Manure

I mean he's not wrong. However definitely looks off his chops on the beak like.
