When we played at Highfield Rd., I negotiated prices on an executive box for a season at the back of the main stand for the company I then worked for. Granted, we were in the premiership at the time, but this was 1995. The cost for a box which could host on recollection maybe 8 people was £11k...
When all’s said and done, when he goes, it wouldn’t surprise me if it’s undisclosed unless the purchasing team publish the numbers. I’d be ok with that if it spares us a financial kicking with any players we are looking to sign.
The odd thing in McNulty’s brief résumé tweet is “played for Sunderland”, like it is a pinnacle achievement. That he has taken the bait speaks volumes. Give it time, Skybluezam might still get the last word in.
I think he would do well in the premiership. With the all-round quality of the division, teams would be less likely to swarm him with 3 defenders as they do in the Championship.
Gyokeres has been linked to at least 6 different teams and Harriott reckons he’s been sold to the first suitor to show their hand within practically a week of our season ending? I can’t see it myself.
This is a largely ridiculous set of stats. The selection is entirely arbitrary. For Huddersfield, they have used the metropolitan district of Kirklees which is not the exclusive domain of Huddersfield and yet elect to ignore the continual built-up area of Preston in favour of using population...
If you take our abysmal start to the season out of the equation and look at our recent matches vs Luton, we are pretty much inseparable in terms of performance/results. Not sure why everyone outside of Coventry think Luton are deadset winners before a ball has been kicked.
I seem to recall that the attendance record for the old second division is something north of 68,000 and was for a match at Villa Park involving Coventry City. I think it was in the 1930’s. Edit, just saw another post similar to this so apologies.
Yes it does exist, the main jibe aimed at Manchester City from other fans relates to the Emptihad. It might be a pissing competition, but fan numbers are a thing.
If you turn left out of The Town Crier and follow Corporation St., you will find Hops d’Amour literally a minute away on the left hand side. It’s a proper ale treat in there. Fantastic cask and keg beers. 👍🏻
