tottenham ******g up the league at west ham. One Tottenham bottle Standing on the wall One Tottenham bottle Standing on on the wall Now when Tottenham's bottle Came down to Upton Park Then they lost their bottle and the title too. (Obviously I'm crediting losing to us rather than anything that happ...

Again - please read the evidence linked to previously in this thread by one of the turnstile operators at the Leppings Lane End which describes, in detail, how a bottleneck was caused by fans failing to produce tickets at the gate and fans trying to jump over the turnstiles. And? Here is part of th...

As there are drunk fans at every game why don't 96 dies at every match. It's like blaming the passengers on the Titanic for not having swimming lessons. Its the fact that many didn't have tickets is the issue Cornish, not that they were drunk You must have pretty amazing evidence that 27 years of i...

UK athletics would of been better off with crystal Palace being revamped as the spuds wanted then they would of got a 365 stadium. What a load of utter ****ing *****. UK Diamond League meetings have to be held in Birmingham because Crystal Palace is such a ****hole and no amount of "upgrading" will...

The fact that standing on terraces is deemed to suddenly become unsafe if a club is good enough at the game to play for three consecutive seasons in the second tier is also ludicrous. How good the club is isn't the pertinent factor, the size of the crowds is. Not even the pre-Hillsborough Leppings ...

His 3 options, or what he perceives to be his options: House of Lords - while the select committee lapped up Hearns bravado, the Constitutional Reform Act 2005 took away the right of the HoL as the final court of appeal; therefore they have no real power, perhaps just to debate/bring to the attenti...

It seems the capacity for the Anniversary games at the Olympic stadium has been cut to 65,000. looks banged out to me so how /why have they cut the attendance down by 15000? Very strange! Tried to find out why but no luck. Especially as it sold out in no time and I could not get a ticket? WTF is th...

Tent-like in structure (usually pylon/cable supported, like the O2).

Very light, strong, very low maintenance.

I thought the plug was pulled because of the complaint to the EU being made. Is correct - not only it would have caused huge delays, but would have put every regeneration scheme in the country under threat, since most are structured in a similar way to the original plan. But WHU weren't too unhappy...

Was looking for somewhere to post this link and thought it was best suited to a thread about the future sale and redevelopment of Upton Park. Apologies if one already exists. Anyway, reading this, I can't help feeling that this is what the Daves avoided by pursuing their Olympic dream. http://www.g...

We don't actually know how many STH voted, or bond holders or members do we .What we do know is it is possible that around half , as a minimum, of current STH did not vote . And it is a long-established principle of democracy that those who do not vote do not care. Those who cared enough to be move...

And quite a few pompous idiots... That was uncalled for. Let's leave the name-calling for when you're face to face with the object of your disdain, please. Try rebuking the original offender as in " There are many sheep among our support ". @MrBen - recognising that having higher capacity in a far ...

Many do - it is a perfectly normal way of doing business.

Huh. So not just eavesdropping and bin-dipping, but outright fraud.

Ah, so this is the soiled underwear thread.

Last time I went to Twickenham it took me 2 hours to get out of the car park yet you don't here the RFU arguing to move to a new stadium, strange Good Lord you andf logic don't share the same planet, do they? The RFU were able to rebuild Twickenham (over several seasons) to a viable capacity -- 82,...
