Underpants Posted September 25, 2020 Share Posted September 25, 2020 Swansea, Vetch. Talk about squeezing a football stadium in to the available space 😁 Brentfords new stadium is a tight squeeze as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went on it at a night match at Villa, & it was huge. Standing about half way up, you couldn't see to the back because it seemed to sort of lean back !!

You did well being in your 70's mate 👍 Has anyone ever heard this story re Sunderland v United.....it's halfway down the link,....must be their equivalent of our Darlington game https://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/classic-roker-park-matches-sunderlands-13003939 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Correct, i didn't mind the coin chucking frogs aimed at our heads in Marseille, and we gave it back, but a spear chucking contest would be beyond me.
