    The plane the Yanks used previously isn’t in at the minute. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t have used a different one of course.

    Cheers mate. It makes me very happy to think that there are those who have supported the club through thick and thin over many, many years are hopefully about to see that dedication rewarded in a resurgence in the club that no-one will have ever experienced.

    There are much more dedicated and worthy fans than I who have turned up season after season and supported the Lads through good times and (mostly) bad. I saw my first game in 1981 - a 0-2 home defeat to West Ham but didn’t really start going with the old man until we got relegated to the old 3rd Division. We got season tickets when the SOL opened but stopped after the Howard Wilkinson season. Been to occasional games since then but it’s the proper fans, the hardcore season after season, home and away fans that I hope experience the highest of highs in the coming years.

    They deserve it.

    ......but I am trying to talk the wife around into us getting season tickets next year!!!

    In reality whilst we would all love a party probably the best policy would probably be a low key approach and just relentlessly steamroller on to the premier league.
    If we have to chop the legs of certain parties on the way so be it. - perhaps on reflection this is not parliamentary language.
    Who was that American president who said talk softly but carry a big stick..

    I imagine Bill Clinton said that, but it probably wasn't in the same context that you're talking about.

    For my money I'd be expecting a play by play of everything said. I'd be willing to be at the other end of a Whatsapp and i'll post directly to here:emoticon-0110-tongu

    Think another was postponed due to a clash. Consett on as far as I know.

    if it is done and they are wanting to maximise the PR aspect of the deal either Friday night or Saturday morning is an absolute no brainer to announce it.
