Right.... The Stadium of Light meanwhile holds up to 49,000.

Can anyone explain why Sunderland’s crowds plummeted for the play-offs? Lots of empty space for the first leg semi against Portsmouth (41k a few weeks earlier in the league vs them, 26k for the playoffs) and didn’t sell their allocation for the Wembley final.

3 mins of highlights Includes some of the minute silence! Final touch of the Game is by Mark Robins And cue someone looking at the goal and concluding what a great player David Smith was...

One of the dozens of promising yoof from the Milne/ Sexton era of development. Was loved by many during his first spell and there was disquiet when he left. However if you look up his record in that time it was pretty underwhelming. Dropped down a division and scored 20+ goals a season for...

Like the council then? ;-)

On the second point. I bought an egg timer shirt off FMC the quality, look and price of which is streets ahead of the licensed replica versions the club was selling a few years back. Would have liked the club to have arranged some sort of deal with FMC for replica-retros under licence but not...

Looks like a cycling top

We are offering £600k according to Express and Star... Clubs keen on Wolves' Bright Enobakhare

Really interesting watching that back. At the time my sympathies were with Pressley (it was after the FA Cup defeat to Worcester) but looking at it now it’s easy to see he was a dead man walking after this.

Of course you’re right. I heard this on a radio programme with Dublin as guest. Maybe Dublin was speaking of his new contract negotiations rather than when he first joined?

Dublin said that when he signed for Cov, Richardson showed him a model of the sliding roof/sliding pitch arena that we would be moving to “soon”!

That individual investors (usu G Robinson iirc) bought players and cd take a share of the profits if they moved one for higher fees. My understanding is it’s the sort of scheme that got West Ham in so much trouble with the Tevez signing. I’ll dig around for some references to it...

Yes but that was also the model that brought in the three players in your username. None of H, D or W arrive at Coventry without the Newmarket scheme he Introduced.

So that would be the “home” dressing now then - after Wasps commandeered the one we used in 2014?

Basically the relegation/checkatrade kit. Too white. No thanks.

Yep. And probably explains an awful lot since

If our bricks were real we could build a new stadium with them

That’s foul

All of which means that we will start the season without him but clinging on to the prospect that he might come before the end of the first month?
