    Dont worry, it wont be quiet tomorrow!!!! ;) And im glad im not the only one who thinks about the smell of a ground. I love it when its just rained, you get the fresh cut grass smell and the rain smell and the chips smell. Its great!!

    absolutely! the smell of a ground is very important. The big new flashy grounds don't have the right smell. We have a real football smell, it's perfect :)..can't beat it!

    You mean you still have grass, rain and chips at your ground? How wonderfully quaint and old fashioned! :emoticon-0105-wink:

    AK, the match thread is top notch. I don't like the way google translators are improving it might eventually put me out of business. Athough, before anyone jumps in I am keyboard dislexic so forgive my spelling.

    Our ground is fine if you sit top right of the Rookery, looking at the pitch, and you have a bad right eye squint ! Still it is our home at least the guys filming get the best view despite no noise coming from behind them.

    The Foxes hey, crafty creatures but they sometimes get caught. Their form has been patchy but they are on the up, or are they? A hard fought draw would suit me. Does Drinkwater get a game for them? He was on loan for us, right? No surprise not to see him in the UTD team then.

    My prediction - 2.2 a hard fought draw, we need to show some steel. How we'll get two goals remains to be seen, I am still hopeful that D/G partnership will be the reincarnation or at least half the partnership that our old marksman used to be !

    COYH !!

    He got Radio Leicesters MOTM last saturday, Pearson saw a problem in midfield and is patching it well by the looks of it. Looks as though we are creating more chances than we were doing.
    Will be interesting to see whether Danns will make it back into the team tbh after his 1 game suspension, i'd expect an unchanged lineup from Saturday.

    This is the design of our new east stand. It will be very cheap as we have little money.

    We were thinking of this model but the mountains are more expensive than Nathan Ellington's lunch.

    And I do not know how to scale the pictures, even after one year.

    I'vee heard about some seats being 'up in the gods', but that is ridiculous!!! Is one of those overhangs the commentary box?

    I'm surrounded by Foxes at work so could do with a result here. Something tells me draw though. 1-1.

    Is that from your local club - awesome!
    Have you ever climbed to the top during a match - must be the best seat in the house!

    Ditto :wink:

    Akureyri is the first picture. ÍBVs field is the second with the mountains. It is a group of islands near the south coast of Ísland, in the box.

    We never have bad behaviour because we all know each other through family or friends or work.

    This will give you some idea of crowd sizes.
    In 2010 we played
    Færeyjar and had 250 which was indoors.
    Andorra 2.567
    Noregur 6.137
    Portúgal 9.767

    KR-völlur has space for 2.781 people, but the record attendance was 5.000
    Kaplakriki has space for 6.000
    Keflavíkurvöllur 4.000
    Kópavogsvöllur 5.501
    Akureyrarvöllur 2.000

    but the fields are never full.

    I do love my Hornet Player. According to the countdown clock on it we have just started. <yikes>

    1-0 to Watford already. Lloyd claims goal, but it went in off the ref. ;)

    Troy Deeney has not long arrived at the Vic so unless he was running late, I don't expect him to feature for #WatfordFC tonight
