We won't fail against these though. I'd bring Austin back just so he can throw Coppinger back into the stand. Pikey *******.
I think we should make more use of the North Stand, why not put the away support in the northern half of the West stand and use the North Stand for home fans? (Except if the away team are expected to bring loads like Sunderland etc). I went in there when it first opened (New Year 1999 I think against Port Vale) and it was ok. Reminded me of the time back in the 70s when you could walk round from one end to the other at half time to be behind the goal we were attacking....
Apparently it's needs replacing so much that no fans will be allowed in that half again as it's got no disabled facilities.

Dunno about their fans, but our own should be jumping on it now. 3rd in the league, Pompeys lead cut to only 4 points and unbeaten at Oakwell all season. This teams very good at this level, and promotion is ours to throw away in my opinion. Hopefully more will want to be part of it?
I was talking to Dean’s dad about this yesterday on the coach journey back from Accrington. He said Dean was so Angry with Coppingers exaggerated dive over the fence. Incidentally Dean is playing at Gainsbro’
I think it is safe to use, however, I don’t think it can be. The club recently pulled down the toilet block at that end to build the new media centre - which they are on with now. I can’t see that the north side of the West Stand can be used until more WCs are in place - unless they provide portaloos in the event it is used? I was surprised they didn’t incorporate new toilets under the media centre, making it a 2 storey building. Although planning would have not been as easy.
I can understand how they see scunny and Rotherham as bigger rivals. We don't play them for 25 years after being promoted from the 4th.
