Re: Funding required for renewal of tinshed board
Love the irony of needing to raise cash to maintain the board that reads 'Our football clubs are for life not just for business'. Almost as sweet as the uncovered sign, being under the tin shed roof. Simple things... :roll: All joking aside. It's an excellent effort by those putting in. Every penny ...

Re: Match thread?
I'm going to have naughty thoughts about Ferguson tonight. He's too good for this level. How he didn't get MOM is beyond me. In the current market, he must be worth £30M. Lol. defence still causes palpitations. But last year, this team hit 4 in the same game. So I'm looking St the pluses. I'm not hi...

Re: Match highlights
The whole pitchero think stinks. But i want to ask people about the actual highlights...Were they a true representation of the game? Or were they Salford biased? If that's the case, then it's fine. We know that's been the case for a few seasons now. After all, it is their you tube channel. But my co...

Re: Cartman available for loan
The lad is class. He's got a great touch. He sees things others don't. He's a proper terrier of a forward, chasing everything. And when played in the right formation, a formidable threat. For me, he had his best moments last season, when he came off the bench after 60 mins or so. When the opponents ...

Our coastal cousins...
Following their defeat at Dover yesterday, something occurred to me. Will the chimps ever make it back to the football league? To do so, they'll actually have to win some silverware, either in the form of the winning the league, or the playoffs. Nothing else to add. It just made me smile.

Re: Courting controversy
Last seasons shirt was exceptional. And the season before was great too.
95-96 home an obvious fave amongst many. The 10-11 shirt was really cool. Plus we won something in it.
But my favourite shirt of all time. The 04-05 all black (with white piping) away kit.

I've found Syers very hit and miss. When he's on it, he's exceptional. But when he's not, it really shows.

Re: In other news....
In my opinion Jeff Stelling was completely out of order in his actions on Saturday.
He's lucky that he doesn't support a big club. If he was an Arsenal fan and came out with that on live television, he'd be sacked. It was completely unprofessional.
Funny though.

Re: Other Alternatives
No one mentions the red seats. In the short term, i wonder if it's worthwhile detaching them (they are only screwed into their footings) and moving them forwards towards the pitch. As suggested, it won't count towards ground grading, but it will provide circa 160 extra seating spaces for those who f...

Re: Temp seats at bishop ??
Swans, please stop repeating the same thing about making the tin shed deeper. It can't easily be done. The structure of the roof supports the terrace slabs itself. Th only way you can make it deeper is by casting the horizontal supports. It would be cheaper to rip it down and start again. This threa...
