You`d have a look round and be shown the new `stand`, the disabled enclosure and the championship ready sprinklers and think `Hmmm` You are then taken to see the training ground where there are a couple of portakabins and a wheely bin laughingly described as the `cryogenic centre`. You also see Chris Martin lumbering around whilst the apprentices pick up fox shit. You`re on your way back up the M5 as fast as you can! 2 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A manager who gets promotion from League 2, moves clubs gets promoted to Championship and then gets sacked when that club is 22nd wouldn't be a completely unrealistic option for a club in 10th in League 1 looking for playoffs.

So it looks as though if you sat in that corner bit under the 2 overlapping roofs, you would have 3 pillars spoiling your view of the pitch. That might have its advantages of course (more pillars please...) but that probably exceeds the definition of 'restricted view'. More like, 'a view of some pillars with a football match in the background'. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
