Congrats to Hull, hope they don't do a Derby for Barmby and Marney's sakes.

Good for the ex yids - Barmby was quality when he was with us.

West Brom, Stoke & Hull in the prem next season...a couple of those could be tricky & we usually lose to one promoted side away. At least we've got 2 teams that haven't been yo yo's.

I went to that game with my boss. It was a pre-season friendly and we put out a decent side, including one Pedro Mendes, who, from that moment on, became my favourite Spur. That was enforced by his audacious Man U goal that never was.

The KC Stadium is owned by the city council which is keen to promote football in a predominently rugby league city. They have planning permission to extend capacity and may well get the ball rolling now they've secured promotion. The average attendance at home is 23000 and they regularly take 5000 away from home where ground capacity permits. I went to an away match one night to Hillsborough - Sheffield wednesday v Hull City. We got there and the match was delayed due to the sheer numbers queuing to get in.

We finally got in half an hour in to the match even after the delayed start and even then after half time Hull City supporters were filtering in to the upper parts of the stadium. We reckon there was upwards of 10000 there that night - there is youtube clips somewhere. Hull won 4-2 i think.

Dean Windass will cry every time he sees a replay of that strike - out-fucking-standing goal :clap:

Thats nuffink, I was at Wembley behind the goal where Ricky Villa scored against Man City in 1981 - About 5,000 people on this forum were standing next to me in the upper tier that night.

I was one of 'em TCO - I had me top off and was using it as a makeshift scarf :) You probably remember me from that description ;-)

To be fair there must have been about 60,000 Spurs fans there that night - so doubtless quite a few of Sc folk were there

terrific goal by Windass - not as good as Berbs v PSV tho (the ball Berbs hit was far more difficult to control because of the pace Berbs arrived and the pace the ball went at - did I mention it should be Spurs goal of the season ;-)


was pleased for Barmby Marney & Daws the elder

just hope we manage to win up there - please don't let our game be some ****ing midweek night game in the midst of winter
