That's fair enough, but we're only going one direction if we aren't sold, and it doesn't end with Allams walking away with a fee.
On about name plaques. Did anyone notice the Hull City one off the locomotive wasn't above the players tunnel on Saturday ?
Don't tell me it's been sold to Railway memorabilia enthusiast ? Surely things cannot be that bad yet ?
I don't think anyone would stoop as low as Martin Fish did with the original name plaque. Would like to know what has happened to it though ?
I have a message for anyone who might have stolen our plaque. GIVE IT BACK, BECAUSE TRUST ME, THINGS WON'T GO WELL FOR YOU
I know people disagree about our squad being worth £20m but it's certainly worth a fair chunk. I'd want 8 figures for KLP to even start a conversation. He might not be the finished article, but there's loads to work with. Bournemouth have a £9m + £3m in addons option in Morgan Rogers' loan & he's only had half a season in L1. Whilst Rogers is a good player, his stats are nothing to scream about; 6 goals & 2 assists in 28 L1 games and he's yet to score or assist in the champ so far. Similar story with Greaves. Stoke sold Nathan Collins to Burnley for £12m after half a season of regular championship football. Greaves is very good on the ball and left-footed which is pretty rare too so I think 8 figures isn't a bad ballpark figure.
Most of the working life of the Engine, those nameplates were painted sky blue. When the loco was built in 1936, those were City colours. Imagine someone nowadays turning up and changing... Err...
It was only blue until WW2. The name plates were black, like the one in the Streetlife museum as anything needing repainting was painted black including locomotives. After nationalisation it was painted amber. When it pulled the first train into Boothferry Park Halt it had a plain amber nameplate. That was how it was when originally put up at BP. The one thing it was never painted was black and amber stripes until City did that later.
