    Sunderland game

    I was giving a lecture on Sunday during the game. Full time was just before I started the second half. Quick fist pump to a startled audience and then on I went.

    If you want to retain SBT's involvement you can't avoid a role. Why should JS listen to SBT if Mark and Pete are the only two being measured in their criticism?

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    What people say on this blog can't be controlled, as we can see!! But the key thing is that the central voices are measured - Mark, Pete, Nick, FP, OSB, even you Grendel, and the few others. If the outliers continue to rant, so be it.

    Although given how many stadia are being built, is there likely to be some innovation in prefabrication that caps it a bit?

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    The old Highfield Road (1980's and before) was basically 4 boxes. I'd prefer that to a bowl any day, particularly as t would be a high % full for Championship matches (Hopefully). After the ghastly atmosphere at the Ricoh and obviously the limitations of St Andrews.....

    Meeting with Joy Seppala & Dave Boddy - Thursday 27th February 2020

    My conclusions 1. It is a step forward that there is some dialogue with the club 2. We do genuinely know more than we did 3. We remain intensely sceptical about the promise of a new ground - although maybe less than before 3. Shmmee is a bit of a twat, and people should stop replying

    why is everybody feeding Schmmee?

    Ipswich v Fleetwood

    Fleetwood, Oxford and Wycombe could all be in the play off, which means at least one well funded operation - Portsmouth or Posh could miss out. For the second year running.

    Right, I have been thro this thread and by the second page was discounting all Shmmee related content; that was just a complete rabbit hole. Along with others, just to record my thanks to Mark and Pete for sterling work and dispassionate reporting. We can all now freely apply our own...

    Of course she doesn't "care" in the sense that we do, but you have to wonder why they have stuck around. They are a business.

    Interesting about the new site that you have shifted from being a skeptic to more optimistic. Is this just Joy's warm words, or something more meaty to go on? I remain a skeptic, not least because of the impact it would have on WASPS letting us back to the Ricoh. They would want to milk us...

    I too am dubious they will ever build as the maths look too risky for a hedge fund. On the other hand, they have stuck around almost 15 years now, so maybe they are in for the long haul.The summation of the football position re: the Championship looks spot on. An 18k 4 sided stadium would be...

    While not strictly "operating" in realistic terms transfer income is being treated as such. Doesn't that change the picture?

    Or there is one waiting, Joy just has to get City back to the Championship. I can see little on going benefit to SISU from being a mid table Championship side.
