Stifler Posted September 20 Share Posted September 20 As I have said, I’m not a fan of sponsors or patterns in the seats, but why didn’t they just go with the 3 stripes instead? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought I would have had to give up my qualification teaching English as a Second Language for a minute there as I was struggling badly to comprehend that headline. Thankfulky read @Stifler's post and could gather what the cunt Ryder was on about. What an utter shambles of a journalist's language that is. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seemed to be extremely quick considering some structures like the leazes were just 5 year old at the time. Obviously less complex, but the leazes development was still in the conservation area, and the gargantuan height would have raised concerns for right to light over the far end of leazes terrace The planning application was submitted in late December 1997 and approved July 98. Also the Castle Leazes application was submitted in February 97 and the club announced that it was abandoning that plan in late November 97 (although it wasn't actually formally withdraw until January 98). So it seems they must have had the expansion plans drawn up at pretty much the same time as the Castle Leazes proposal, because there's no way that could've been done in a month.

I always think that's what the colour of our seats should look like. On the subject of seats, I don't know what the designers of the San siro were thinking....green, orange etc Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Used to love Ibrox in the 80s when it had 5 different colours of seats in each stand, Red yellow, blue, orange and brown. Looked class! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we were moving to Royal Quays they'd have planned, built and opened the new Sela North Shields megadome by now In other stadium news, Manchester United have been told they're getting fuck all public money for their new stadium.

They have been told that for ages, however they’ll get every penny thrown at them for the developments around it, and the government will come to the rest of us up North and say that they have levelled us up.

Elland Road is old and shite as it currently is, bolting on an extra few thousand seats isn't going to do much. I'd take a reduced capacity at SJP for an overall better matchday experience.

It’s hardly befitting of a club with our stated aims of being best in class having about the 10th largest stadium in the PL, I wouldn’t say SJP is currently cutting edge in many areas these days either.

Not really a fair comparison when for 14 of them years we were owned by an absolutely massive parasitic cunt who let SJP rot whilst doing nowt but splattering SD logos on every available surface and getting his lickspittle Charnley to buy a few 32” Hi-Sense flatscreens from Curry’s for punters to squint at on the concourses Edited September 23 by bobbydazzla Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
