Sour Mash

It'll be entertaining one way or another, regardless of the 'quality' of either boxer. 20k tickets sold already tells it's own story.

I know it's a bit different, but Glasgow Rangers.......

Interesting stuff that. Going to be horrible watching the fall out if the bubble really does ever burst.....

I've heard Guly has booked himself and family 2 weeks in the Haven Caravan Park Weston-Super-Mare.

Can we have a separate stalkers thread, listing where each player is going on holiday? Sticky mods?

Lots of good quality sausages and beer........

It'd make a difference though. Look at our support at Boro, being on TV make a difference when people are asked to shell out big money. Not all German tickets are cheap, but yes they do have some very, very low prices, particularly on the terracing.

Or just ensures that ticket prices are kept low, one of the factors that helps on Germany, so many of their games are on the box.

Agreed.

Loads of people compliment Staplewood, see Lallana's recent quotes. Of course, it will now need updating. Then we have a doubling of our home capacity with a new ground - I'm no fan of Lowe, but why doesn't that count as ambition?

Does opening Staplewood and building a new 32,000 seater, £30m ground not count as ambitious?

I didn't say they were "like for like" - but they provide a precedent nevertheless.

We were top flight when we sold Shearer, both Wallaces, Bridge, Davies, etc, etc, etc......

So we've got to compete with Sunderland as well for a Champs League place, it just gets tougher and tougher.......

Harlee Dean confirmed himself earlier in the year that we weren't going to extend his contract after the end of this season I think.

Yeah I get the food thing cheeers, was more a joke about living on Sushi. Happily give one of those all you can drink in 2 hours bars a go, though can't see how they'd work in practice. Sod paying £6 for half a pint. I'm sure it'll all be irrelevant anyway as we announce another dull week in Switzerland. That train link is class, stupidly good value for what you're getting.

How many days does that £150 train pass cover? Can live with £4 a pint, but hearing stories of double that isn''t too clever. Mates that lived over there lived on a diet of noodles, rather than sushi or proper meals.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better location. How many grounds outside of London have three/four train stations within walking distance. Probably 50-100 pubs within walking distance as well.

No they don't. Man Utd, Liverpool, Arsenal etc all have massive supporters clubs etc over there.

Ta. Fancied one of these two for a few days in the summer for a while now.

Where would you recommend for 'dramatic'?

Any particular bits of Norway? Bergen area?

Sounds about right to me. Stick an extra tier on top. Keep a pretty even balance between supply and demand at Premier League prices.

Exactly. So what would it cost us to build a 40/50k out of town ground? Not saying it'll never happen, but it'd be a massive undertaking.

Add on at least a week to that on the basis the season is starting later than usual?
