Will be updating monday for refs and injuries.

 

Will we have a new stand by then ?

Is it on tv ?

 

Answers will be revealed.... same bat time same bat channel.

 

Tables wrong...

 

If we win whoever scores the winning goal should have the stand named after them. If we lose or draw we should call it the Derek Asamoah stand.

 

Wont be if Boro don't win tomorrow

 

Pretty sure it will be regardless of that result. You see, everyone will have played three games, not two

 

I said monday brah.. peace out.

 

Doesn't mention the table

 

Updates implies thoroughness that you would not be familiar width.

 

"for refs and injuries" would suggest specifics

 

1 - 0 to Skull I believe

 

It's more like 1,765-17 to Skull

 

specifics not available til monday... did you want me to update the form table instantly after the last game today or update it twice to please you....

 

Anyone go to the test event on Friday. Impressions of the stand?

 

Important to get off to a winning start at Anfield we need it to be a place teams fear this season.

Looks impressive, but you'd need a head for heights in that top tier.

 

I think its a 30° gradient or more so you need to take your time to get up there.

no trouble getting an expensive pie and beer though.

I have not seen the prices for concessions yet. just a lot of pics of where you can get them.
