It’s a disgrace that the FA and more importantly the government are still allowing these shady individuals from overseas to buy our football clubs.

Easily see 25 k plus for Sunderland!

Fair play Sound’s like the club have done a really good job with this ? On a side note did anyone manage to get any pictures of inside of the HPC? Always nice to see a few different angles and possible rooms/area’s that the club haven’t shown us on the OS/social media etc!

Certainly was a decent player in his day and I’m sure somebody our young forwards can learn a lot from ?

Would love Lotto to make our kits again ?

Im of the same opinion to be honest. We should have more than enough in this squad to finish comfortably in the top 10 Imho.

Silly Welsh tossers ??

My thoughts exactly. Whilst we all appreciate the extra income and revenue the developed stadium has brought - is Robins Tv really the format to be gloating and patting himself on the back about it? SL has become almost a marmite figure for City fans recently it seems. You have the staunch supporters of him and then you have the doubters and critics, as much as I appreciate the infrastructure he has built for the club I’ve doubted his stewardship for quite a few years now. I know people will say there is nothing much in the ‘blasé’ comment but for me the body language said more for me than the comment. He looks and has looked pretty done with the football side of things for a while now - i think the whole MA disaster and then the Holden appointment has broken him somewhat and what ever appetite he did have for the football club has gone.

Quite like that to be fair!

Would be nice wouldn’t it..!

Lee Hendrie is a clueless clown. I genuinely think the only reason he get’s media work is because people feel sorry for him..

Plenty said it was a bad signing.. I knew at the time it was a ridiculous waste of money ?

Good riddance!

It definitely needs expanding but we were always going to have these issues as a good % of the fans that populate the South Stand are fans from the Atyeo that moved their season tickets over when the re-build was completed. The Atyeo barring a few seasons under Danny Wilson had a pretty dead sterile atmosphere for the most part and the vast majority of fans there sat and this theme has just continued on into the South Stand. Moving existing season ticket holder’s would be tricky but the only real solution would be to extend section 82 along the top say 5 or 6 rows of the South Stand.

The signing of Louis Britton proves we are scouting even lower than conference south level..

Always thought that fascia is in need of something.. Even ‘Ashton gate stadium’ would surely look better than the bleak grey cladding that it currently is!

Are they banned at other mass gatherings then i.e concerts held at football stadiums or festivals like Glastonbury? Just an innocent question as they seem to be rife at these sorts of events. Are festival/concert goers lungs more immune to them i wonder?!

The point being i highly doubt that there is an ongoing manhunt by the plod to catch the individuals that let them off at concerts.. I may be wrong on that and if anyone has any examples of people being prosecuted for letting off pyro’s at concerts then i stand to be corrected but i get a feeling that once again its football fans being demonised by the authorities. Glastonbury next week will be another mass event where you will see countless pyros being used. My own personal view is Pyro’s always add an extra bit to the atmosphere - you only have to look at every country in continental Europe to see that. As previously said though this is just yet another stick to beat us football fans with IMO and has very little to do with H&S.

As i said previously this must surely be the beginning of the end for Southgate. He peaked last summer for me and must go after qatar barring an absolute miracle. I will just say though before the English public and press slaughter him that a fair bit of respect must be put on Southgates name IMO. First manager to get us to a final since 66 and the first WC semi-final since 90 is not to be sniffed at.

Crowd really getting frustrated. Personally feel this is the beginning of the end for Southgate.

Another very good signing, can’t knock Pearson and the board so far this window ?

Does anyone have any timescale on when the shop is going to be moved/redeveloped? Shocking that it has taken so long to be honest.

I quite like that to be fair

Maybe. I think this world cup is massive for Southgate to be honest. I think the FA have accepted the cautious and at times pretty negative football dished up by Southgate and his management team as they have yielded a major tournament sem-final and final. It’s when the wins stop coming in and we get dumped out in the early stages of a tournament whilst still be playing such dull negative football that i think Southgate is going to have a problem. Hoping we can get to at least the Semi’s in Qatar and to be honest it wouldn’t surprise me if we did to be honest. This England team does seem to have the knack of doing it when it really matters.
