I think the “Holte! Who Goes There? Stadium” has a certain ring to it. What do you think Warminster?

I haven't a clue sinkov. I just think having the name of the team in the name of the ground is rubbish! : o )

Grealish is nothing but a diver and the ref just keeps falling for it. But it happens every game I am surprised no one snots him in the tunnel.
