  1. I went to France v Fiji rugby at Stade Atlantique on Saturday, my third visit there. It's basically a 4 sided ground with corners filled in, but nothing like a bowl. Quality stadium and facilities and the type of ground I'd be happy to see Wednesday in. No idea if it could be done stand by stand, or whether it would require a new site.
  2. Weirdly if you look at the head it has a 3D effect. I've not been drinking, so please confirm if a visit to LunetteSavers is required.
  3. North Stand, South Stand, good customers, respect. Kop, bad customers, sell house.
  4. Thought that was Martin Allen.
  5. No problem for Bannon. Remember Sheridan for Chesterfield? Bossed it and barely moved from the centre circle and he was at least Barry's age.
  6. Not just postage, but thanks to B****t there's VAT and import duty to pay. Doubles the cost. However, seriously considering buying my first shirt since the yellow and black striped effort, 1994? Will be worth the cost knowing I have made a contribution of sorts. Also arranging a trip over to see the lad in January and buying some tickets, possibly Portsmouth so I can drive over and pick up some of the wife's family on the way, seeing as they were supportive of us at Fratton.
  7. If I wanted a bit of Stamford Bridge I'd head out of York and place a stake in the ground, damn sight cheaper than that there London.
  8. I just asked Chat GPT and it's a long answer. But, recommends Samsung if you're a photo enthusiast, which I believe is what you claim to
  9. Was this the game when we had about 80% possession? Couldn't go, working.
  10. Maybe 25 or 6 2/4. Similar period I guess.
  11. Trevor Francis was I'm sure, maybe a year over.
  12. Guylain Ndumbu-Nsungu.
  13. The Hillsborough experience declines every year, not that I get there often, or at all currently. I live in France and season ticket holder at Brive Rugby. The ground is a traditional 4 stands, no corners. A new stand behind the posts was constructed just over a year ago and I now sit there. Superb facilities with a huge foyer in front with more than a dozen food stalls, pizza, duck, chicken etc, first class, live music, kids area, drinks areas, on match day it's like a party. After the match, the party continues in various areas until 1am. The stand has boxes, hospitality areas linked to seats, a Michelin chef in the rooftop restaurant. Interior foyer as well with huge bars, DJ area, amazing toilets, as big a TV screen as you can get. Proper seats with room for your legs included! In a year or two the opposite stand is due for similar treatment. If you like your rugby, on YouTube there's a FRUK rugby channel showing live ProD2 in English every week. Next Friday Brive v Grenoble and the channel have organised a mini tour to come over. In other words, Wednesday fans are lagging way behind and though I love Hillsborough, something has to give.
