That’s being built on as we speak.

You don’t need planning permission to knock down old buildings. You have to inform the local authority, but unless it’s a listed building, you don’t need permission. The local authority may come back with some stipulations on when you can do it etc, but I think for where the site is, it will be fairly straight forward.

I think people are using Leazes Park and Castle Leazes synonymously.

Not really. I very much doubt that anyone at the board level who will be involved in it will have any doubts about it happening. Any doubts about it happening from someone at the club will be from someone not involved in it. The main reason behind those doubts is the training ground, but plenty of people suspect that they are waiting on land becoming available for that before they can do anything, with both sites at the ministry, and Northumbrian Coach Lane campus being rumoured.

I very much doubt anyone on the board will be doubting it, and let’s be honest, only the board will know anything about it.

Looks like poor attendances at all the games tonight. Sunderland expecting a poor attendance at the weekend. It doesn’t bode well for the FA Cup this weekend.

Has Covid hit Sheffield?

Yes.

I wouldn’t go below an XL. Honestly I tried an XL on, it went below my waist, but just thinking it may get small when you are sitting down etc, or if there is any shrinking that happens. The 2XL though went half way between my upper legs and my knees. Too much of a gap between the 2 sizes.

What are you normally? I’m between an XL, and 2XL. The 2XL is a bit big, the XL fits, but has a significant less amount of length to it than what you would expect between the sizes.

Just been in to see the shirts. Honestly, size wise, you are best going for your normal size. The material is much like the Northern Rock shirt with the blue sponsor. The larger the size of the shirt, the more of white stripe it is has next to the sleeves. There is no large versions out on the shop floor at SJP, but the XL, 2XL, and 3XL all have the white stripe, the 2XL and 3XL all showing it more. The XS, S, and M’s do not have the white stripe next to the sleeves.

I believe it’s just new digital advertising screens.

Yeah, they have spent a shit load. The thing is they try to justify it by saying they sold players. Well yeah, in recent years those players have went for inflated fees to Saudi. You have still been spending a shit load of money.

No, I assume it’s soo though, otherwise he wouldn’t have mentioned it. He did say that it’s going to be mega long, and he’s already had to half the content. In an era of digital content, I’m not sure why he couldn’t have just wrote an extra long article to be honest, even if he spilt it into different parts.

Nah, he just says it will focus on the questions the club will be asking and then answering those questions. I’m going to assume that it’s going to take the emotional attachment towards SJP out of the answers.

On POTT podcast, Chris Waugh is saying that he’s wrote a mega article that pretty much answers everything about what the club will be doing in regards to the stadium.

When was that photo taken? The East stand still has the SD italics font signage.

I still think Liverpool will overturn this at home in the return leg.

Looks onside to be honest.

Fully confident that we would.

Same. I never bought a Wonga shirt. Barely got any after that, usually bought in the sales, and from other outlets such as that sports shop on Market Street.

Yeah, I’m one of them to be honest, but people are zooming in on the authenticity badge trying to find the blue outline being slightly thicker than the original etc. The fact is, there are plenty of photos of originals out there to show that even back then, there were minor variations in batches.

Kind of makes you wonder why they never tried to release it or do designs inspired by it before Ashley fucked them off.
