I was told the place is so bad they have to hold the annual festival at the local airport ........ seriously!
I go to Sunderland and behave as I've always done ..... a few pints with the lads, sing my head off and go crackers when we score. I pretend it's still the good old days and ignore all the corporate ****e. Works for me
Of course your right, I just miss the days of paying at the gate, standing in the Fulwell end and enjoying the football in non sterile conditions. "Peanuts, tanner a bag"
Bitter little man. The game isn't in Trencin, it's being played at an 11,000 seater stadium in Zilina and we've been allocated 2,000 tickets, which we won't sell because we're apparently a piss poor fishing village near Leeds. We're playing in a European Cup competition for the first time in our history and we ****ing love it. Hundreds of us will arrive in Eastern Europe and have the time of our lives, because this is the stuff that football fans dream of. Anyone who doesn't understand what this means to us, doesn't understand football.
I don't give a **** mate tbh. I didn't let the fences put me off, refused to be intimidated by cosh-wielding Cockneys & put up with all seater stadiums. Nowt will stop me going and enjoying my day as I want to enjoy it
at the airport ? wouldn't know- I drove into the city -have to say though the beer there is cheap and excellent
As usual, because of your past humiliations, you're missing the entire point of what I'm saying. Thankfully there are other people, minus the stupid grudge, who are able to understand what I'm saying and have responded sensibly. There's no bitterness, it's a comment on modern football, not Hull City.
I meant to ask you summat about Glastonbury but couldn't find the thread. Why was Dolly Parton's drummer in a glass box ..... is it so the 'front line' performers don't get swamped by the percussion?
In the premier league? Awful. But Benfica at home was one of the best nights of my life in terms of football, and we got beat
We get in by whatever means, home & away, then find a place where we can stand, shout and act like lunatics. As 'expats' we don't have season cards and wander around the ground during the match and switch ends if we feel like it. It's not like the mad old days but we do our best
Fair point, there are a lot of people on forums who claim to be at every game. I didn't go to any away games that season but can say I genuinely do feel for mackem lads who haven't experienced a European night like Benfica at home, the atmosphere is just beyond anything you can ever get in the premier league.
As far as I know they're not even sure to be playing there so I don't know how tickets have already been sold or plans made ................
yes mate tends to happen with female vocalist(Diva's) the drums sound tend to overspill and messes with the onstage mix and monitors so the sound is contained in the box and pushed out through the off stage speakers same as when when recording in the studio the drums are usually in the drum booth and well away from the 'musicians'
As an ex-drummer I'd have to say I'd find that a bit 'mechanical' and off-putting. The drummer is key to any group and that relegates him to a 'bit part' role in my opinion. What do you think?
