Suspect:The shooting of Jean Charles de Menezes is very good and eye opening. I thought he jumped over ticket barrier and didn’t have much sympathy at the time but it turns out it was a police officer who jumped the barrier and was a complete disaster from start to finish.
The bridge in the original plans were to the East Stand from the embankment which I think was to be used by a college/university which was then scrapped. I heard a rumour last year that they were looking to move the offices in the North Stand to there, whether that is true or not, who knows...
Sorry I meant the club, they made a mistake in not buying it from the Bennett’s initially although now there is planning permission for student flats it would be very difficult to turn down a future application for a hotel/offices for example.
We are 15 minutes walk from the school so the kids walk 99.9% of the time. One of the neighbours drive their kids 20 minutes before we leave to get a parking space close to the school then sit in their car for 30 minutes every single morning.
I know players can’t sign stuff after the games anymore but I only found out a couple of weeks ago that they are taxied from the North Stand to the car park after the games which is quite sad.
Plans are now showing, I assume this will be for the players as well then they can access the ground without having to get through the fans via the walkway.
I am going to get slated for this but apart from a few exciting exceptions I think we are boring to watch at home.
Most of the games where it has been easy to get tickets for a casual fan have been poor, my wife and daughter continued their run on Saturday of not seeing a win this season...
It was strange there seemed a lot more empty seats than for West Ham probably 4-5 thousand, the shelf was half empty even though there weren’t that many tickets available.
Just to annoy you even more it is costing £2.5 million pounds, someone somewhere is making a lot of money considering only about 5 people seem to be working on it.
