I walk on the town moor quite often. Mainly cos the durg loves it. For most of the year if you stray off the paved paths you're up to your knees in clarts. And 68% of it is covered in cow shite. And the Hoppings is absolutely rank. There's been a smallpox hospital there and a racecourse with a grandstand and also an aerodrome. So why can't we borrow a corner and have a decent footy stadium, eh ?

admit it, that was copied word for word from Chaucer

Guess it depends how you define a genuine fan Wimbledon ceased to exist, he’s been going to Arsenal for 20 years because he’s from London and his mates were mainly Arsenal fans so he adopted them as his new team He goes to every game and is a proper supporter. In the same way he supported Wimbledon So he’s not a lifelong fan, but he’d argue he’s a genuine fan

Did some of tables get the wrong brief ? “suggest some absolutely ridiculous ideas that have no relevance at all with watching a football match and will in no way improve match atmosphere”

HALF TIME ZORBS

That was a negative and right now I need two positives, one to cancel out the negative and another one so I can have a positive

I've heard a very rough home demo version of a song Sam's written about the ritual of working class blokes going to the match, it covers the themes you mention Not sure what he plans to do with it though, don't think it's been recorded with the songs that'll be on album 3

@Heron Whinestoppers. A confidential hotline to report negative behaviour detrimental to atmosphere e.g. moaning throughout game, going for a pint on 30 mins, leaving at 80 mins, telling people to sit down, amateur manager chat, excessive use of phone Just contact the hotline with the offenders seat number and they get a text after the game to tell them they're now under surveillance. 2 more strikes and they're banned for 5 games. Successfully grassing on someone who subsequently gets banned means a reward of a 1/2 price ticket to a game of your choice

@Heron 1) create large sections of safe standing in both Leazers and Gallowgate official club comms to say we're doing this for the greater good and change will be needed, including the prospect of some seat moves for ST's 2) fire a rocket up the arses of ST holders via club comms at renewal time. It's not "their" seat and they need to do some self-realisation that if they're going to the match to be negative then they need to either change their attitude, or stop going The club could suggest other hobbies the negative twats could take up to allow them to evade going shopping with the missus at weekends. 3) sack off allocated seating so like minded people can sit in the most appropriate area for how they want to support sack off the ballot too 4) find a way to get younger (18-30) supporters into same part of ground where they can be loud and bouncy without the old codgers moaning 5) we do need somewhere for families, but it doesn't need to be most of L7 6) remind them the singing area in L7 corner was absolutely class back in the day. as is Strawberry Corner currently. We’re capable of creating a great atmosphere match after match, if we get right people in right places

My pal was a massive Wimbledon fan and had been since the late 70's He's been an Arsenal season ticket holder since Wimbledon went to Milton Keynes

So being hamstrung by FFP is an irrelevant point in relation to the quality of our squad ? Are you on glue ?

you do understand that FFP has restricted our transfer activity and we’re still carrying a load of average, poor and injury prone players from the Bruce era ?

Lacking confidence Knackered Riddled by unprecedented amounts of injuries Bad luck Key players out of form / dropping clangers Poor tactics and game management Weaker players getting too much game time Rare glimpses of our brilliance from last season Awful cup draws Too many wasters still on the books Financially hamstrung It’s been a mediocre season and we deserve to be where we are in the league If this was last season we’d probably be fairly happy with mid table and a couple of cup 1/4 finals but it isn’t 2023 and the bar is now set much higher We need to see a return to 2023 performances toot suite, Eddie needs to dig himself out of the mud that we’re currently mired in. And I really hope he does

Sloppy defending + sloppy goalkeeping = goal Repeat to the power of infinity

The way Gordon reacted it looked like the physio had slipped an ice cold digit into his hoop

We just look like a bang average mid table side

And as a nod to the historical importance of the terrace the SAM’s could be launched out of a blunderbuss that’s fired by the beadle from the parish workhouse

I know someone who’s out there working on it at Director level so get regular updates and they send me photos of what’s happening on sites It’s wild to see it, when I show the on-site pics to my pals who work over here in civils or construction they’re blown away by the progress, scale and ambition

If you spend the extra lowey to watch the game from a corporate sofa you get to leave the ground by riding on the back of a dolphin

The Saudi PIF are spending $500 BILLION on NEOM, creating an entire city from scratch and throwing up some enormous and technically challenging buildings, the likes of which the world has never ever seen before What they’re doing is mindblowing to people who work in architecture, construction and civil engineering Yet apparently PIF would be unable to find a solution to a 40m elevation difference at the Arena site Now I’m not saying we’re moving to the Arena, but I am saying that building a new stadium for NUFC would be like pissing around with a kids Lego set for these lot
