Don't we own the hotel/pub car park opposite? So could we not re route Halfords lane and make the turn earlier and then get rid of the original top end of the road and then take Halfords lane back?
There are definitely names out there that even if they didn’t have any experience,because of their football brain you would still be interested…
Please note this is all hypothetical and I have no idea if they have ever expressed an interest in management,but Toni Kroos,Luka modric,pirlo,Paul scholes and Gundogan all come across as obvious future managers .
I always thought when we redeveloped the ground we rebuilt the stands in the wrong order.
If we had done the east stand first we could have moved it back and took up some of the car park. Then if the two ends were moved across to meet the new east stand, there would have been plenty of room to build a proper stand on Halfords Lane
I also agree with the first two points. I was once mistaken for a NUFC supporter in a pub because our navy is so dark, and that's the shade I want! And that pink was just appalling.
However my favourite away kit (and I do like the green and yellow) was our black one when T Mobile were our sponsors.

Can you explain the rationale behind Heitinga? I mean, other than him being part of title winning coaching team, which is good, I’m just curious to know more.
I’d be happy with any of those that you’ve mentioned. Mousinho perhaps has little experience but the experience he does have is good so far.
Saw a name on the odds list that seemed interesting for no apparent reason to me and I feel only Smethdan may be able to advise on why…
Thiago Motta.
Anyway moving on from connotations of the word Motta…he was at Bologna 22-24 and seemed to do fairly well there. Went to Juventus, less so. But the Bologna link interesting. Currently sitting at 25/1 so nothing to suggest he’s coming, just haven’t seen the name before.
There are several reasons why I advance the argument of a New Ground and maybe we don't have to move further than across the Halfords or as mentioned earlier if we can acquire other land on the east side of the ground. The point needs to viewed in the context of Lepkowski's article.
His gripe is that the club should be doing more to engage fans and grow the fan base which has the obvious benefits in terms of our financial strength. I am broadly sympathetic with the argument although personally immune from the lure of corporate hospitality or extending my matchday experience but each to their own.
My view is that if you really want to galvanise the club and take everyone including it would seem the fans out of their comfort zone then nothing would do that quite like getting new and significantly larger stadium I plucked an ambitious number out of the air 40,000 seemed to do the trick. Filling it is a challenge unlike filling 26,000. It completely changes the landscape.
I agree with those who point out it could be the biggest of white elephants, if we are marooned in the Championship. However the PSR regulations cap what Bilkul can spend on players but they do not cap what they can spend on the stadium. In the longer term an investment in our facilities will give us more money in the future.
There are of course limits to what Bilkul may be willing or able to spend. They are not obliged to spend anything. I wouldn't mind if they didn't after all it isn't my money. However an ambitious stadium project is in itself a statement of intent it signals to fans and potential fans that this is different this is bigger.
Build it and they will come.
I don't know what has triggered this something on social media or a news report that I've missed but there has been a major move on the betting markets this morning.
Firstly Eric Ramsey has come in to 2/1 but has been joined by a completely new name John Moushino also at 2/1 and Ryan Mason has drifted from 5/4 favourite to 4/1.
Not sure what to make of it but plainly money has gone on those 2 potential candidates.
there are some very loose rumours going around from a local Hull journo that Selles could be replaced by none other than Tony Mowbray.
Hull have bought in a head of recruitment who has close ties to Mowbray
twitter account is @mikewhitesport that is reporting on this
Am I right in thinking that since the clock struck midnight ion the last day in 1999,The vile,Tge Dingles,The blouse and Smallsall have all plumbed the depths of League one…whereas the best club in the midlands hasn’t ?
Couldn’t fill the ground when they were in the Championship - closed the top tier for most of the season - big club when they are doing well but not so when they are struggling - more fickle than we are
No thanks, but wouldn’t be happy moving my seat in the back part of the Brummie. Palace have an exciting team, which may help the atmosphere somewhat. I stand up when something exciting happens…. this season my buttocks have been fairly numb by full time though
If we have to have safe standing in the Brummie, put it at the front so they can get rained and snowed on in the winter and to deter folk from blocking the gangway before the match. Personally, I think it looks rubbish, but if fans think sitting in an iron cage makes them want to sing and shout more, so be it . Atmosphere is mostly generated from what’s happening on the pitch and it comes naturally both during the game and from the generality of the clubs trajectory. I think younger fans want to experience standing up, similar to how they feel the need to have the ‘Uni’ versity experience… you’ll never get back to how it used to be in pre cotton wool days, half hearted attempts to recreate it will never do for me.
Reading fans were right about Swift. Good on his day be only when we could be bothered to turn up...
Diangana probably equally frustrating although you can't fault his efforts unlike Swift just doesn't have the consistent quality. Often runs into blind allies and then cost us the play offs. Why Corberan didn't hook him off at HT in that 2nd lg I will never know...
Ajyai okay squad player won't be missed
All the loan players returning wouldn't have them back tbh
Need to sell Wallace, Bartley, Mowatt, Furlong etc hopefully can convince the newly promoted teams they're championship experienced
Hopefully we can get 15m plus for Fellows from a team like Everton (I assume he will be off)
Oh Riis is out of contract? That wouldn't be a bad signing at all upgrade on Cole
