BBC breakfast.

Live sports outside broadcasts from NYS this morning.
Seeing inside made me miss being there.
Jamie Noble spoke well to mike Bushell earlier.

Just watched our chairman on TV. So glad we have that fella in charge. I did want him last season to spend a bit more money in the Jan transfer window but what is happening now puts everything into perspective.

IF the Premier league insist on neutral venues to finish their fixtures, I can see NYS being one of them. Modern, compact stadium with probably the best playing surface in all four divisions. A football pitch even premiership players would love to play on.

Is NYS pitch big enough?

Great shout Brin, was looking pristine this morning. Good piece by the beeb sympathetic to the realities of the situation. We're extremely lucky to have Tony!

I thought it was same size as Wembley pitch?

Edit: its 102 x 66 vs Wembley's 105 x 68. I'm sure it meets all regulations - its hosted international events.

Most prem grounds are 115 X 75 yards.
Miller's is 110 X 72 yards
