At 1:10 on the video, just after Brum have scored and it's showing the crowd celebrate, why does Blackburn Rovers FC have an executive box at Birmingham's proposed new ground? Have a look and please explain it to me, because I'm at a loss to understand it.

That's a regular occurrence at Northern soul nights. Never see it anywhere else.

He put SWFC and Sheffield 3 (the company he set up that owned the ground) into administration at the same time, so the administrators are selling both the club and the ground together. He no longer owns either.

For what? It was him who put us into administration, so the only person he can take to court is himself. Actually, I wouldn't put that past him .

I knew he was living in the area as he's being un a relationship with a woman from Sheffield for a good couple of years now.

I wonder if he'll be serenading the Kop with a chorus of 'Wilder is a w' like he did at the end of last season

At the minute we're all p*ssing in the wind, debating hypothetical situations. For all we know, the new owners might prefer building a new stadium; if so they're not going to invest much money into the existing infrastructure other than what might be needed to ensure H&S. It'll be interesting to see what plans new owners come up with, at least we'll be able to discuss such issues from a more secure knowledge base rather than the more recent communication black hole we've had.

See my reply to Umeesk. I think it's worthy of further consideration, but apart from the forthcoming game against the scrubbers, it just won't be needed for the foreseeable future. Other than against them, and other recent high profile games it's not been needed. I can't see that changing any time soon.

Longer term I agree, however in the short term we're talking about not being able to utilise the whole stadium to it's capacity for 1 game. We've just had two very well attended games where fans have been encouraged to attend and get behind the team, which didn't sell sufficient tickets to warrant opening other parts of the ground where blocks had been held back, including the LL lower. Next season we'll be in league 1, where attendances are generally lower, so I just can't see the need for such measures next season either. That gives new owners a minimum of a season and a half (possibly/probably longer!) to investigate such issues and scope out, develop and implement a plan to utilise in future when it might be more of an pressing need (hopefully).

Yes it does, but there's no easy means of segregation on the concourses so it's probably more hassle than its worth.

Great track to get us in the mood (should anyone need it) pre-match.

How we're all feeling now.

One for cuntsiri; he even stars in the video

No problem pal. Looking at it again, I got the timing of the kegends wrong; they're in earlier than I stated, but the shop will definitely be open until kick off .

There's another thread about swfc legends being in the shop from 5.45 to 6.45, with the shop remaining open until kick off, so you'll be fine at 7pm, though it could be very busy (hopefully!!).
