Football 2010-2011

jeezo, that's nuts! i like a high vantage point for games but you'd struggle to have me standing up the top there.

i experience terracing most away games. hardly in the same league though...

[Tugger2k]

Will do. Holds 24,000 apparently in that one end in standing mode.

Not too far off the size of the old South Bank at Molineux or The Holte End used to be.

You must get wet a lot!

[TheGayTent]

yep.

now that we have learnt from the mistakes and standards of hillsborough, why the ruling that all premier league sides must be all seater is still in place i dont understand.

the lower leagues and rugby now all (can) have safe standing, is it more unsafe at the top tier of english football - of course not.

not only would it bring the atmosphere back (although i do think that certain clubs, while not maintaining the atmosphere of the 70's and 80's, do manage to get it going most of the time), it would also allow for those that have been priced out of the game back, it would solve a lot of issues for some major clubs in that they cant increase capacity because of their location.

and it wouldnt have to be all standing. the clubs can have 3 banks of seating should they choose, so the short arses and the kids can see.

my 1st game, home to derby 1979, i couldnt see a thing all match, ardilles got a brace and i didnt see anything - it was f**king ace!!

[TheGayTent]

me? now that i think about it, i'm struggling to think of an away day in 2 years where it has rained. granted i've only done about 10 but still. actually it might have rained once. but that was at hampden. wur national stadium.

So it would be accurate to call you a fair weather supporter then?!

[TheGayTent]

Other than the team that you support, whose results do you keep an eye out for or go and watch ocassionally?

For me they include Wolves, Celtic, Toulon, Sampdoria, & Brechin.

whys'at? brechin nae going up this season

for me it's teams with ex-livi players. so leeds and west brom are the two main ones. and middlesbrough for my bet (if it still stands) and to see how miserable they're doing.

don't tend to care much though, it's all about livi!

[ampersand]

Yeah you're miles out top. I used to like Meadowbank...

Why brechin? Link through my old man goes back half a century.

Liverpool (First ever football top was a Liverpool one in the 80s)

Shef Wed (A few of my mates took to supporting the great Shef Wed team with Chris Waddle, Chris Woods, Des Walker etc... in it)

Wigan (Two ex Hamilton accies players in it)

Blackpool (went to a Blackpool game once in the 90s and really enjoyed it)

[ampersand]

huddersfield for me too as arfield went to my school. and he keeps showing up in my mutual friends bit on facebook.

[Steve P]

Would love to see terracing back. Plus tickets on the day so you have to get there early.

All my bets went down the shitter thanks to Hearts draw, and Chesterfield lose

At least Villa won glad to see Wolves batter Blackpool too

I'm sure party animal will be outraged at rooney's assault on his beloved James

Had to lose sometime I guess...

Skrtel poor and Reina should have done better on their third. Suarez in the last ten was brilliant.

To be fair the loss of Meireles did it, we lost a man in midfield and we were overrun.

And as I was typing this Arsenal got very lucky in the CC final. Definitely should have been pen.

Fergie can speak some bollocks but this is one of the worst occasions I have seen recently. Rooney has had more media loving than almost any english player I can ever remember. Only a year ago they were debating who was the best rooney or messi. He also gets treated far more leniently by refs than any other player in the league bar possibly gerrard. Fergie should be thanking the media and the referees for favouritsm to rooney if anything.
