CONFIRMED Ryan Leonard

[TTMeysh]

He's not coming then?

Crazy to build a 21000 seater stadium when you only average 7000 a game.

He forgot to get off at the correct stop and is now having a medical at Barnsley.

Crazy to build a 21000 seater stadium when you only average 7000 a game.

We average 7k when we're having a bad season. When we're up there and challenging we can reckon on 9/10k home gates regularly in FL1. When we last ventured into the Championship we sold out literally every home game. In theory our current capacity is 12,400. The theory is that if we reach that level again then we will start to chip away at the prem goers in the town, specifically West Ham.

Anyway, back to Mr Leonard, whats holding things up? Anyone know?

I suspect they're waiting for other signings to be confirmed before announcing 2 or 3 at the same time, plus the fact it's the derby on Friday, so will want to keep any cards close to the chest.

 

[Rusty view]

Leonard signing will be announced when the teamsheet is released. Keep the pigs guessing.

I'm fully expecting him to be on the bench for this game when he eventually signs. Should it be announced just before KO then I reckon he'll be a suprise starter.

 

[Antonb]

I think he will start

Need to keep up morale while were waiting!!

Announced with Wilson tomorrow apparently (Twitter)

 

[BigBed]

I apologised, I didn't realise both cups of coffee were full when I asked her to pass the remote from the back of the coffee table

 

[Rusty view]

I'm sure it'll be Orita

 

[Jon Bon II]

Is it my eyes or does at least half of that crowd seem to be made up of slender looking ladies in short skirts.

Well, it IS Essex...

Still a bit bonkers, it’s going to be half full at best for most games. It would be like us building a 70,000 seater stadium.

Oh go on then......

 

[Dellas Cowboys]

I heard they've been working on his announcement video all day but can't stop him saying "massive club" or "it's great to join Sheffield". They're thinking of over dubbing it but can't decide between using Clarke, Duffy or Knill for the voiceover.

Can't fool me, that's a bloke.

Ssshhhhh! Don't tell everyone!

 

[1889]

They're at Shirecliffe waiting for the Dr to arrive, but he's got to finish his Paige Hall Surgery first.

Unfortunately, there are at least 15 Romanians, 4 Lithuanians, 7 Russians and a pregnant Pole ahead of the Lendog, expect the announcement in the early hours, call outs permitting

Quite probably, but.............British Land are his partners in this venture and they are funding and building the retail park side. The ground itself is being built by Ron and the current intention is that the main stand will not be built until Roots Hall has been sold and built on. So it's not impossible that we will be playing in a three sided stadium at the start and that will reduce the capacity by quite a bit. Now that really is bonkers. I'm praying that his plans will change on that front.

Blades know what it’s like having a 3 sided ground.

This isn't happening is it. Our present transfer negotiator has refused his agent's requests for a bowl of midget gems in the dressing room and his own monogrammed towel. The sooner CW does the negotiating the better for this club.

Who does he think he is?

Fucking Beyoncé?

Send the fucker back if he wants to be a prima donna

 

[Kenilworth]

And I thought Foxy were tekin piss abart a 300 page thread afore confirmation

 

[LoxBlade]

Yes son

You lied to me, I hate you dad

 

[Treeton Blade]

You lied to me, I hate you dad

2 hours left yet Son!

 

[Snowman]

Not that I am a pessimistic glass half empty bloke normally but this delay smells of something gone wrong and parties working to find a face saving explanation. You heard it here first.

Probably find the medical revealed Lendog had an ingrowing toenail and we reduced the bid by £500k to cover future medical bills.

You know I'm not one to bullshit Kenny

For the record, I don't think we really will reach it, but we are 20 pages closer than we were
