Dunnett, too, once he built the sports hall and finished installing the executive boxes, we became part of the furniture in the top flight. His best days were undoubtedly after Sirrel moved upstairs and Lloyd took over.

Look at Fword. Finally realised that changing managers wasn't the answer, stuck with Chris Hughton who got them to where they are now on the riches generated by their padel court and fan space.
That?s right. Oh how I miss the days of crumbling concrete, wooden seats and stanchions.

So jealous of clubs who decided against investment in the stadium, you know the ones with their old characterful grounds with obstructed views, peeling paintwork, worn carpets in the club bar, corrugated iron external decor, shrinking capacities and attendances.

That?s sure to attract families and youngsters to matches
