Worst sort of start, when the opposition are clearly leagues ahead of where they were in the past but you still can't quite consider it a Man City style free hit. Villa have really come on, like.
Technically true but on the ground it feels a different story. SJP is literally minutes away from the Gate for example. Riverside area is literally minutes away from Newcastle College and the Probation office
Are there many precedents for building stadia in that sort of area and the 'have to redevelop the whole area' thing actually coming to pass? I don't actually know. How did it work out at Sunlun, though?
I'm not arsed about the away fan experience one little bit
