    I think that is spot on myself like, we are not gonna suddenly have monorails and theme parks but we will have a plan and serious financial backing, I think we we will be back in the prem sooner rather than later but will the big boys (players) come to Sunderland? Of course they will once we have a monorail and a theme park!

    If the stories about developing Sheepfolds into a kind of sporting village have any legs then we will have no difficulty attracting players.

    If that was the case, I hope the historically hapless city council would see fit to see a long needed foot bridge over the Wear linking the area to the stadium.

    The chances of the city council having that foresight are similar to Bruce declining desert of course.

    Just make the monorail a roller coaster and you kill two birds with one stone

    That was John Stirk who played for Ipswich, really nice lad.

    I used to go to play with him at Iveston, nice folks he had as well.

    Blimey, so did I, John was one of my best mates at school, I seem to remember playing on a farm up there but I am pretty sure he lived on the main street, long time ago though.

    If you're actually expecting the council to do something forget it.

    Pre meeting meetings to discuss the agendas for the next meetings ( expenses x15)
    Meetings to discuss the proposals (expenses x9)
    Agree the proposals (expenses x6)

    Ah right.

    So which is it?

    You don't think it was a fortnight ago ..... in which case, when do you think it was?

    Or if you think Fuhrman isn't following Sunderland at all how have you come to that conclusion?
