Re: Migrants crossing the Channel

What would be good is if they could interview as many of the arrivals yesterday and ask them if the Rwanda plan would have stopped them. Not many if any at all would say it's a deterrent I would think. It's a costly sham. Sunak will be happy to let it drift on and hope it gets block so he can use it...

Re: 🚗 🚌 🚅 ✈ The Away Game & Match Day Logistics Thread

It's more or less halfway between Cologne and Düsseldorf. Slightly closer to Cologne. I prefer Düsseldorf of the two. Can't go wrong with either really.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

I should have added that was a good hour before kick off. So very few people inside, despite the weather but ever clear that the early bird savers are not well advertised. So much so I totally forget if we were within the saver timescale or not.

Re: Olympic Stadium Discussion and Questions

Very rarely buy a beer at the stadium. Did yesterday as met up with a mate in there whom not seen for a while. Ordered 3 x Brixton Ales from the inner concourse. One served out then there was an issue with the pump/ barrel. The server guy was very apologetic and offered Moretti 's for the next two. ...

Bottom line is both acts are/were wrong ( explaining

Re: The Sunak Government 2022-

The wasting taxpayer money bit or the slinging unfounded accusations bit? Both combined. The libellous and untrue accusation followed by using tax-payers money to pay for the legal fees, the cost of which will eventually be exposed. I am probably going back a long way but ministers did often offer ...

Re: 1st game with children

At a later time get a print ( or two) of the game details from Reece as a great souvenir of their first game from Reece. Highly recommend.

Re: 1st game with children

See the Supporter Services stewards on the outside concourse, usually by the bridges. You can get freebies for your children from them, usually player related stickers I think?

I was in different stands for the Ipswich and final game. Both incredible but the Play- Off win the way it felt the roof was going to come off after the Etherington strike and the the whole stadium felt like it was rocking.

Re: Premier League sack race

'Ex' and his mate Dave spoke at the start of the week about facing Burnley with a new man in charge, fearful of the new manager bounce. Stating that Kompany had been sacked. How odd.

Same here. Maternal Grandad QPR, from close to Loftus Road. Always will be my second team, the stadium always felt like a similar smaller Boleyn Ground. Stan was the man.
