  1. I’m all for giving HP time. He’s been dealt a horrible hand and had we not had the injuries maybe it would have been different. He would also benefit from a larger back room staff. HOWEVER that game was dire and he deserves criticism for his tactics and team selection. If that is a sign of things to come then we will need a better manager.
  2. Used to play football there before it was taken over by them.
  3. It’s a decent song by a local band who made it big. More of a Sheffield connection than Simple Minds or Jeff Beck as well and we would never change those. Also - it’s no heavier than the start of Brianstorm which I believe we used to play and no one complained because it was the Arctic Monkeys. People will always find something to moan about. It’s not Eurovision.
  4. Pretty pathetic but let’s not pretend that some of our fans will be loving this as well. Never understood the “firms”. Never want to. Different world to me and I’m quite glad about it, but also stops me going to the match with my daughter.
  5. Oh 100% and Bellew fought at Goodson Park of course. I’m talking more about a genuine pull for bigger events. Steep stands, safer standing and the ability to expand the stadium are all things that could be incorporated to enhance the experience.
  6. I can see there being minimal improvements made in the interim, whilst work starts on a new build. It all depends on the extent of the damage. Can we use Hillsborough as a base for 3 years or however long it takes to build somewhere new and what impact would that have on revenue etc. Sheffield is crying out for a multipurpose venue where anything from concerts, boxing, athletics, rugby, can be held. The Arena is awful, and we miss out on huge acts which is embarrassing given the musical heritage of the city. Our new ground could be an ideal venue for this and therefore may be eligible for government grants but in order for this to happen we need owners with foresight and patience, and we also need to be successful.
  7. Better teams have been relegated through mismanagement. Although it’s not likely momentum is a huge thing and them plus Norwich are not doing much to halt the slide. They spent big on deadline day and maybe they’ll do that again but a) do they fund it by selling players, b) do they expect the team to gel with new players and c) do they trust Wilder with a budget? If we get anything from the derby - even a point - it will be catastrophic as the teams around them can and should pull away a bit.
  8. Extra rasher if she doesn’t
  9. Exactly this. Derby as well and Reading - look at them. We don’t walk that league and to suggest that we will is, with respect, coming across a little arrogant.
  10. It’s only disrespectful if they do it out of protest. I’d say it’s more ignorance rather than disrespect.
  11. A lot will also depend on whether we are under embargo or not as well. This is not like when we went down last time I’m afraid. We had a genuinely good league one squad. This season, this group of players would probably be mid table league 1, realistically. I would worry that -15 would set us back too far to catch up, and we get swept into a relegation battle. Going into League 2 would be a significant mountain to climb.
  12. Sorry but that would be a gamble - not just on promotion but staying in the league. League one is not an easy league - there are 4 relegation spots for a start. We need a sensible owner with money, not a gambler.
  13. Ugbo got a good interaction with Henrik then whe being subbed off. His confidence much be rock bottom.
  14. We could do a comedy-drama series on the last 10 years to be fair
  15. Licences can be applied for. I know Dalton Smith would love to fight at Hillsborough too. Issue is everyone os playing catch up.
