last time we went up in 2nd from this division

[blade too long]

the ground looked like this , can you spot any changes

thats right , the eagle eyed will know the hand rails painted red in the bottom corner are now yellow

 

[Worksop II]

Wolmet Limited

 

[S64 Blade]

Norfolk Park flats have gone.

 

[Basegreen_Blade]

Kop poles are now white

 

[Highbury_Blade]

No sand around the pitch any more.


In fact do we have a substantially wider pitch now than we used to have?

 

[dingledog]

I think the duggout might have changed, could be photo angle though so not sure.

 

[dingledog]

Had another look, got it now, new carpet in directors box, very clever.

 

[Kenilworth]

We were a shit third division team then and only arguably marginally better now.
But we had Deane and Agana then and Ched now.
With due respect to ched's achievements this season I would swap him in a flash to have Deane and Agans back.

bibbilty bobbolty boo

Ahh but ....... will Ched be playing for us in the last 5 games is the crucial question! As his trial is scheduled this week -
a) Will he be in the correct frame of mind for Rochdale?
b) Will the trial outcome mean he is no longer at liberty and unable to play in the final four?
If the wrong answers for SUFC's promotion hopes to these questions come to pass, I fear we may not win all our remaining games and lose out for 2nd spot.

I think Danny has done his best to cover for the worst case scenario, but this week is crucial in more ways than one....

Well he can play in our last midweek game v rochdale and like other footballers who have been in this situation is out on bail and free at weekends, 2 newcastle players played during a trial
theres no way if it goes the full 2 weeks hed miss the last 4 if found guilty just possibly the last 2 , but doubt even that as I have heard it will crumble

MunXy

89 was a terrible year for crowds averaged only 12220
we get half as many again now

I hope you are right on both points, but I believe the club are considering his state of mind for the Rochdale game and of course we can't predict the outcome of the trial despite the 'collapse' rumours.

 

[blade too long]

state of mind ? he s hardly looked like hes had the weight of the world on his shoulders recently , in fact he looks like a man who believes he will get the all clear, hes not lokking affected at all

 

[metalblade]

The pitch is no wider but has been moved closer to the south stand to make more room for the John St stand which would have been tiny otherwise.

 

[stannyblade]

wish the kop was still like that.

 

[BladeFisher]

The bit I miss most is the loss of the floodlight pylons. One of a few grounds with 5 floodlights.

Something I always notice when matches from earlier days are shown. Rael Brook Shirts. Stylo Matchmakers. Esso Blue.

So does advertising work?

 

[rachyblade]

I thought fences were still up, I'm sure I remember being let through the gate last home game to walk on the pitch. It was my first game, against Bournemouth.

 

[gazmesiter1889]

I was there and we were all allowed onto the pitch no probs!
