I think Kluivert was already being linked with us that night. He was class, but think the link was also why he got clapped.

 

Gerard also got clapped when they battered us 6-0 in 2013. Distinctly remember cos my dad was absolutely raging. I think that was also a dig at our players who’d been horrendous.

 

think Crouch got clapped on or off after a good England performance ?

 

Have a vague recollection of a Chelsea goal being clapped in late 90s. Feels like a long time since I’ve seen a goal clapped 

I remember a Fulham goal by Gordon Davies, then being managed by MacDonald, being clapped at SJP. Ended 1-4 - they were superb that day.

i applauded De Bruyne's thunderbastard in off the bar effort the other year but not sure anyone else did

 

 

that inter game was an eye opener, sure they were 2-3 up inside 20 mins and ripped us a new arsehole with some great goals

 

EDIT - in these highlights their gaffer is just casually smerking a tab on the touchline

They did first half after Bellamy was sent off, however we dominated the second half with ten men, with Solano especially being outstanding (yes the game was already won). Our first sight of Emre in that game also

The cut to him smoking when they've scored

There's empty seats in that Inter game too

the front rows were unoccupied if i recall to cater for the larger advertising boards for the champs league

 

i had to move from my usual seat to the gallowgate because of this

I was thinking that, but looks like more than just the two rows that have empties

i'm sure for the first stage there was hell on as ST had to buy a bundle, I feel like mine was £35 in the east paddock but thats a guess, which at over £100 for three seemed a lot at the time.

Wasn't sold out. Just over 50k there iirc. Think only Barcelona sold out and that wasn't until the day before the game. Only 48k at Juventus and 40k v Feyenoord, Kiev, Leverkusen.

 

People complained ticket prices were too high and back then ITV would have had the rights for the CL so would have been accessible to all.

Understandable, but seems mad to think about now

It was similar in 1997 before the expansion, it was easy to get tickets on general sale, even for the Barcelona match.

Given's positioning for Recoba's goal, man. And why were we seemingly diving in for everything 

[Golden Dragon 1976]

Was the full crowd applauding Vardy when he scored his record-breaking goal against us?  Or was it just me as i backed him to score?

[Superior Acuña]

Tell you what, I wanted a half time bovril and I got in and out of there in a couple of minutes, so leaving my seat early or anything.

Back then you couldn't stick a selfie on insta with #hwtl so nee point in going to be honest.

Lee’s latest “exclusive” is that if we stay at SJP then they’ll look to make the Gallowgate end bigger.

What a waste of time that would be. All that money spent on what would be 7,000 cheap seats.

 

Would kill the atmosphere in the Gallowgate as well like it did in the Leazes.

There’s no other stand they could realistically make any bigger given the East Stand is untouchable and Leazes and Milburn are already massive.

 

Is it feasible to make the Leazes and Milburn so high that they leave the atmosphere ? 

[Stifler]

After the fans reaction to the prospect of a new stadium at the Sela fanzone last week, there is no chance that they will be going for a Gallowgate extension.

[Jaqen]

Should leave all decisions regarding the club to the stack clientele IMO.

Make the playing surface transparent and build a new stand underneath the ground, although the new stand will need beds instead of seats which will lower the capacity of it.

Luke insist we must stay at SJP.
