On a visit to Edinburgh last week I ended up in the Tynecastle Arms, the pub next to Tynecastle, home of Heart of Midlothian FC. In the pub is a wall dedicated to the great Dave Mackay with pictures of him with the double team. holding aloft the FA Cup and of course the Bremner picture. Turns out he is still a legend up there too.

Legend at Derby County too.

(Pictured centre). Won the league as manger with them in 1975, although some have argued that the task was made some what easier because of the squad he inherited from Brian Clough.

As for this game, i was wondering whether it was the game where the two youngsters turned it for us at the end, BUT i will always remember it most for us and boro running back and forth at each other along the park lane, the late turn around seriously f*cked them off. Ah happy days. Life was an adventure back then

Well turned it on would be overstating the facts. David howells got on the end of a cross to equalize in the 90th minute i belive and got whacked by the keeper in the process. Then in injury time Paul Moran got set free through the middle and was pulled down for Fenwick to win it from the spot. We played rubbish in this game and Boro scored through Bernie Slaven i think it was. Also Gary Pallister was playing for Boro in this game.

Hang on a minute, see that lovely space of land below WHL from that angle? Just about the right size for a 56,000 seater stadium.

Or is it just phase 1 of the NDP from a different angle. My, it's been so long since we got the bulldozers in...

That school was discussed a bazillion times on pages 1 to 3,000,000 of the thread before this thread

Re: Northumberland Development Project

Enfield locals complaining about the club's plans to upgrade spectator facilities at The Training Centre.

ENFIELD TODAY | NEWS | Spurs plan 500-seater stand on green belt site
RESIDENTS in the north of the borough are horrified over plans to build a 500-seater stand on the site of a controversial premier league training centre.*Tottenham Hotspur Football Club opened their multimillion pound training centre in Bulls Cross, off Whitewebbs Lane to all players at the club last year and now they have applied to Enfield Council for a “minor material amendment” to add a 500-seater-stand and extra floodlights to the centre.*However, residents and environmental campaigners are horrified at the prospect of further development on the site which is nestled in the heart of Enfield's green belt land, just inside the M25.*

Man, that boxing photo reminded me of the ill fated fight between Michael Watson and Chris Eubank I went to see in the early nineties.

Er, why? A 500 seat stand (5 rows high and 100 seats wide) would hardly impact the environment here. Just look at the distance from our training pitches to the M25!

Or even 10 rows high and 50 seats wide... it wouldn't show above the hedges
 
Re: Northumberland Development Project

Would be more about the extra traffic I'd imagine and where does it stop, 1000, 2000 maybe 5000.

As Superhudd says, the complaints from the locals (that I was too lazy to copy and paste from the article) were about the traffic but the club replied that the stand was merely there for the spectators who already attend games and currently have to stand in the rain for hours on end.

I did read a quote from one hysterical resident who basically said that it would escalate to us moving our stadium there
 
Re: Northumberland Development Project

My wife works round the corner, they have hidden the place so well from the road and local land that I doubt a stand of that size would be noticeable to anyone.

I don't like it. It's too similar to a 100 other stands I've seen. I think we should build a stand that makes a design statement about who we are.

You mean have the first 250 seats in one design, then the next in another, in tribute to the way we flip-flop on management structure and can never get the whole thing moving in the same direction at the same time?

Well at least it's a tad more distinctive than what Chavski have at their training ground...
