I was in Chapel in the block closest to them. First time I've been that end since the creation of the "Northam Wall". On at least 2 occasions you could see literally the whole end - which is what? 8000? - had hands above their heads clapping in unison which looked impressive, yet from the other end I had no idea what they were singing. Not a criticism of the fans, but we're never going to create an intimdating atmosphere if the layout/architecture of the stadium acoustically stops noise from reaching the other end.

Sounds like it would take forever, but extra 8K based on £750 per season it would only take 5-6 years. Extra boxes/hospitality would make it even quicker

He does, but the post was specifically about CFs that helped us get promotion. Were we already in Div1 when he signed?

Or he could be encouraged to play his heart out for 20 odd games and prove to Everton and anyone else who might be interested that he is actually worth what we value him at, and we'll let him go with our blessing for that price in January.

What's he like in goal?

Sounds like a Subbuteo practice session. Did Gwen flick it back again?

So the club has joined the CoT with their dubious clues now? But the candy stripes we are expecting didn't exist when that match was played

He would, but when it comes to Free Agents we are as likely to sign him as we are Ronaldo, Modric and Neymar - although I think we've already missed out on the first two (very Saintsy, we were too slow there 😂), the latter AFAIK is still available.

Possibly but he's been in all 6 squads since despite Ramsdale playing in the PL

Didn't Trafford get into recent England squads whilst playing in the Championship with Burnley?

The other 3 sides are "just" stadium. The Itchen has too much infrastructure - offices, hospitality, dressing rooms etc - in the way

You are correct. I knew someone from Barr involved in the project. In layman's terms so even I could understand it, unbolt and remove the roof, add extensions to all vertical supports, drop in extra tier, all electrics plumbing etc use extended conduits, bolt roof back on. All except Itchen.

Which is the very reason clubs are coming up with more and more convoluted and intricate designs. Can't see there's a massive market for Reading shirts though, fake or real 🤣

It must have been. Although they never posted attendances for the Jehovahs Witness get togethers held there every year. (was that actually a thing or am I dreaming it?)

Well I didn't count in the figures, someone managed to pull a Milton Rd exit gate partially of it's rollers right next to where I was queuing. I would guess it was between 10&20% higher than the official maximum capacity.

I'm in the penalty area at this stage - anyone else?

I agree, there are others with r&w stripes and either black or white shorts, it would be good to be unique. The same way Atletico Madrid in their r&w with lighter blue shorts are instantly recognisable. The colour blue in those images is almost identical to the blue P&O use in their corporate logo as well, which would be a nice tie in.

I thought the same, but then realised the trim is the same colours as the P&O logo.

You'd prefer it if the same experiment continued??

We spent a whole season being unprepared for every next game, we've got no chance of being prepared for next season

Keep the wrappers on so they won't go to waste afterwards

It's open to the public under a secret code name of Legends v PieFace but in reality it's open trials for next seasons championship squad

Caleta-Car now come on for them as well
