Same here - I'm unmoved by the bells and whistles of modern stadia; I'd happily tolerate basic facilities in return for being able to stand on the terraces near to the action.

Only cos you could get close enough to abuse Feather.

Sadly all SL clubs will soon be in identikit, soulless, plastic stadiums, that's progress for you. Oh and you get to pay through the nose for it, brilliant.

Cannot for the life of me see mopsey going to this game, if he refuses to pay £3.30 for a pint at our place,then there is absolutely no chance of him paying that much go to Hull.
