  1. Well done Sean, BBC London news have just issued a tidal wave warning due to sudden build ups of tear realated activities on parts of the Internet now πŸ™‚

  2. I am told this will go on for months, at least until December as the stadium is picked apart piece by piece. I have emailed the new owner Barratt London to ask for the schedule and what they plan to do with the old seats and the turf

  3. Its sad for sure.Very sad to see it pulled down but what really makes me laugh is about he old lady,rest in peace,blah,blah.Three of the stands are new in historical terms anyway.75% of the old ground went decades ago lol.Did the ghosts of the dear departed go on holiday for a year & then take up residence in a new seat in the Bobby Moore stand when it was finished πŸ™‚

    • I must admit i have always thought the same.Maybe its symbolic more than anything.But yeah you are right,it is hardly like the old Wembley being pulled down,Upton park has been pulled down in sections many times before.
      Personally im not a believer in all this souls & ghosts rubbish.Its a football ground being pulled down,it is sad but you can keep your memories & be happy with them without it turning into some kind of prolonged funeral.My opinion,i know others will have different views.Thats good

  4. WHAT ARE YOU DOING ON THIS FORUM, ARE YOU SO SAD WITH YOUR OWN CLUB THAT YOU TROLL EVERYONE ELSE. AT LEAST WE DON’T PAY PRIVATE INVESTIGATOR’S TO SPY ON OTHER CLUB’S AND BURN DOWN LOCAL BUSINESSES.

    COYI

  5. Nah Tone,i expect it is someone is pretending to be him so CAPLOCKS gets it in the neck while they sit there laughing.Ignore πŸ™‚

  6. Hehehe another lunatic has left the asylum or do they have broadband in them now.

  7. Another idiot another day πŸ™‚

  8. The spud comment is the funniest one Alfie and they say you mature with age /)

  9. YOUR THE WORST ONE OF THE LOT ALWAYS TALKING ABOUT FIGA πŸ™‚ I WROTE BIG SO YOU WOULD UNDERSTAND THAT I CAN WRITE BIG πŸ™‚

  10. Matte are you going to make a game this year? Would be good if we could arrange a rabid dog, illiterate, neathanderthal meet up πŸ™‚
