Yes, yes it does.

'proper ground'= small club.

I took that flight from LA to Nice via Copenhagen a year or so ago and quite nice it was too. Only cost around $300 US. Fantastic airline.

You would think that more Seagull supporters would flock to the UK.

Good to hear that it's a decent airline.
I'm just happy that they do flights from Gatwick rather than Heathrow. An easy 35 minute train journey rather than a 2.5 hour coach slog. Really makes a big difference!

I can't wait for next weeks episode, where a Dutchman buys a beer in The Holmsdale end and walks away without his 80p change
Exactly this!
Dougie really is the most boring poster on here. The fact that he lives up to this Nigel stereotype is icing on the cake.

Why does Dougie get a hard time? A thread was started about foreigners coming to see football in the UK. He then elaborated on it and gets the piss ripped out of him?
Fvck sake, not another one

Off topic from the original subject, I know......
When they are late, they are very very late! When things go wrong, their customer service make Ryanair appear gold star leaders of excellence in that field. Norwegian are terrible when it comes to paying delay repay compensation. They like to claim 'extraordinary circumstances' for every kind of delay even though they have court judgements against them ruling that defence as rubbish. Norwegian Air have been subject to group legal action in Sweden for simply ignoring claims. "We are a low cost airline and this law is unfair" is their defence.
Right? That'll show em........

Plenty of people hark back for the time when football wasn't money driven or a corporate game. Hence why you hear lots of complaints about these new stadiums that are basically all the same. Why is Brentford one of our most popular away days? Yes it's close but it is also a proper football ground where the facilities are on a par with Selhurst.
Or are we just not allowed to like it because it's the home of Palace?

We have to slag Selhurst off, by law. But yes I hark back about the good old days, and I very much enjoy the "facilities" in the away end there and in my opinion it is a proper ground.
I think you're partly saying that to be controversial, but I really should remind you that Palace's ground is a particularly shit example of old school grounds. It is surrounded by hovels and dog shit pavements, the pubs are bang average (compared to Fulham or Brentford) and the Arthur Waite is a shockingly shit stand. The rest of the ground is unfeasibly ugly. With a supermarket at one end (and about three rows of seating) and a hideous giant stand behind the other goal, it looks absolutely shuffle, and actually makes the ground look uglier than the supermarket does.
There are plenty of old grounds that retain most of their charm and character despite being brought up to modern standards. Forest's is probably my favourite but Fulham's is also lovely. Even Charlton, where 3 quarters of the ground has been completely rebuilt, the away stand is the same as it was in 1984 and is about 1000 times better than the utter shithole that is the Arthur Waite.
