    This was my favourite night match at Roker, Rowell and big Bob Lee both scored first half then they scored late on. The crowd were great roaring the Lads home. We were both top of our respective leagues so beating Everton was a bit of a surprise result although we deserved it.

    I do remember it being proper cold and I was living in Washy at the time and it was very interesting driving home. Great days.

    I only started going to Roker from about 85 onwards. Used to walk along to the back of the fulwell from the roker pie shop. Going back now i still expect to see the Fulwell there and it always jarrs me the fact its not there anymore.

    My dad always sat me on the crash barrier which joined the roof support about a third of the way up the fulwell. The day we beat Man Utd in 1990 was a particular favourite - Benno scoring in front of the Roker and the place went absolutely nuts. As a 10 year old the noise was unbeleivable.

    The SOL whilst an impressive venue just doesnt have that seem feel as Roker, for many of us it probably never will.

    Pretty sure The Times article said by the Plymouth game, @Prehab26 anticipated some time within a week a few days ago. So two different sources (one assumes) that think it's more or less imminent.

    Tomorrow is a Friday as well, remember.

    Yes , much safer away from the barrier -- didn't matter if you fell because everyone knew to create space around you whilst those nearest pulled you up. Helped many up myself, and I will always remember when it was me, I seemed to back on my feet by the time I even realised I was about to hit the ground.

    Sounds like when my son was about 10 he did a world Cup sweepstake at the mother in laws when the whole family where around.
    The mother in law pulled out Nigeria and Paraguay to which see replied I knew I would get bloody foreign teams, me and the brother in law were pissing ourselves laughing and the n realised not one of the other 10 people there had even realised what she'd said

    Would the staff announcements be all incomings? Or maybe an outgoing (Rodwell?)

    I will take it that’s what the issue is then. They want to announce a full team in one go, Academy Director, Head of Recruitment or is that Speakmans role?

    Curious to know what the new staff announcements could be. We already know Sporting director, First team coach and assistant, Academy coach, Communications /systems lead. KLD must be bringing a he'll of new team with him if there's more to come.
