Yes, that’s the other name I was trying to recall. Standing on the terrace in the sunshine, everyone smiling… rug certainly pulled!First game of the season after ‘the great escape’, we took loads more than usual as you say because of Mad Dog optimism, got beat 3-0
Steve Blatherwick is who I always associate with them, beast of a centre half
It’s chicken-and-egg; hopefully this 5th PL season and a good finish will see a number of high value, decent length commercial contracts annoncée
I'm sure they can build anything up in a straight line.
Went up there full of hope and promise, won all our pre season games too.
Excuse me for quoting my own post etc, but there's an article on the BBC Football website saying that in recent Serie A games, Lazio have had crowds of 5,402, 3,400, 5,000, and "No attendance given" in their present 70k capacity Stadio Olympico.
Let em blame Daniel.
Sunshine? It was a furnace. Even the toilets had no roof to relieve the sun.
According to wiki, their present ground, Borough Park, was also "... built with the assistance of the local council, and opened in 1937."
I was more thinking July 2027 was ambitious for a Council! Admittedly my experience is clouded by the farce that is LB Harrow…

Bit of a step up from Crawley, to an Intermediate level. Do they lose money when playing at the Amex?Brighton release plans for Europe's first purpose-built £80m women's stadium
Brighton and Hove Albion release plans for Europe's first purpose-built women's football stadium, which will cost £75-80m.
New stadium for Brighton women - seems a lot of money to spend on a small market but I guess they must have fully costed the plans
That development of what I think was an old quarry later used as a tip has been talked about for many years. I believe it now includes a new A27 junction, housing estate and training ground.
Have they put them in saucers to prevent flooding?With Venezia FC having just been promoted to Serie A for next season, this is possibly the final opportunity to visit a stadium which is only accessible by Vaporetto or on foot. That's right, it's on an island, so I assume the "foot" bit is over a bridge(s).
Anyhow, the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo, the second oldest in Italy, is basically one old stand and three temporary stands, with a capacity of 11k or 7.5k, depending on which source you believe:

Meanwhile, they've announced plans to move to a new 18.5k stadium on the mainland, possibly from some time in 2027, though knowing Italian bureaucracy, that may be being optimistic:

Parking seems the least of their problems, the place is rusting apart on the plans!Wrexham facing opposition to their Kop Stand expansion from the Highways Agency - parking and congestion etc - though (unsurprisingly) the Council says it's ok:
Wrexham AFC: Rob Mac and Ryan Reynolds face Kop expansion challenge
No opinion either way, other than if the CGI is anything to go by, it looks pretty hideous:
Tivoli End - 6 of us Tuesday night. Didn't know what hit 'em!
Taken a while. Mind, there was an awful lot of Rotherham to demolish before they got around to the football ground….
