    I doubt they would do it, but if they ever wanted to, the constant roofline would allow it . So my mate says who knows a lot about architecture, though nothing about football!

    Been over the stadium earlier seems the East stand has now been water blasted and painted (including the South East corner) but the South Stand remains as it was. Maybe a pointer to which stand gets extended first if an extension is happening…..

    Interesting that. Wonder what stuff they use. Is it still white?

    Someone will know no doubt, but another sign that these guys just get on with things..

    If they do extend I hope they put the seats in the corners back to red ones like they used to be. Erase the last little bit of the Donald era.

    Ahhhhhh Smug! It’s early morning here, what a nauseating sight. When you think of what it was like, and how it could be now it truly is scary. Thank god for KLD and his ambition, foresight and belief in this club. Don’t want to think about it but It could have been so, so different.

    Yeah, white. The contrast is quite marked between the East and South stands.

    Just watching this now. KLD is getting interviewed and he was asked why he bought Sunderland when he did. It was brought to his attention during COVID but he couldn't come to see it cos of it. He said that if he did come during league 1 days he probably wouldn't have bought us. All I can say is that **** for COVID!!!

    A successful football-based pop-up museum has opened in the heart of Durham City after council grant funding.

    Fans Museum CIC, which already runs a football museum in Sunderland, has launched the new venue at Prince Bishops Place Shopping Centre, Units 41–42. The museum features a large collection of football memorabilia, including shirts and items that visitors can try on.

    It has been made possible through a grant from Durham County Council and the North East Combined Authority via the council’s Towns and Villages Programme.

    Councillor Karen Allison, Durham County Council’s cabinet member for leisure, tourism, regeneration and high street, said: "This football pop-up museum will be a fantastic addition to Durham City and provide a unique experience for shoppers...
