Who knows we could get an NFL game at the SOL in the future. As far as I know NFL has only ever been played in London and plenty of people travel from all over the country for these games. I think Spurs are the first to start an NFL academy in the UK so could be something the new owners tap into.

Perhaps they're planning this for us ?

Very doubtful I'd have thought. The NFL are tied in heavily with Wembley and Spurs with Spurs stadium being made so it is suited for NFL games - huge dressing rooms to cope with the big squads, a football pitch that can be nice to reveal a permanent NFL pitch underneath it. If there's more games coming the UK's way then they'll be heading to London.

I wouldn't be so sure if I were you ;)

I’m not so sure about there being no happy clappers on here though, there are a few posters who won’t have anything said against the club or manager or they label you a doom monger or a wet fanny. Agree though vast majority just want the best for the club.

I could be accused of being a happy clapper in all walks of life tbh mate.

Have a dig at any of my family and I'll automatically defend them, even the ones I don't like :lol:

Same with Sunderland I suppose.

I'm quite happy to debate anything about the club but get nasty and I'll react.

But I can see all the faults as early as any self appointed 'realist' who think only they can see the truth.

I get what you're saying mate but there are a few who question people's support if they criticise even when it's deserved. I had Muffin Man preaching to me about support the other day because I dared criticise Saturdays performance. Fuck me man I'm nee uber but I travel a fair distance following the lads
 
Ok. Have read Reivers posts and they good and informative.

Possibly they do want bigg (ish) name moving forward as most new owners would.

I do know JR is regarded and has interested some big clubs ( when asked was it the two big Scottish clubs I was only advised bigger).

My view was Scotland itself but I didn't push for answer.

Hypocritical of me as I can't release source.

Thanks.

Think so called happy clappers get annoyed with those that change with the wind or those that would complain if we were beaten by man c on goal difference in two years. .....like me ;)

Do you actually believe Ross has interested clubs bigger than Rangers and Celtic? Even if you do, do you think such interest is warranted based on his time here so far?

Nearly on 500 pages :lol: so I’ll add to the tally. I missed the Peterborough game due to illness (fortunate some may say) and I have to say I hope that when this deal eventually comes off, it goes some way to reducing the in fighting on this board.
Its only in recent years, can I ever recall the amount ‘discussion’ that’s gone well beyond banter. If that’s due In some part with our current situation on the field or whether it’s just how we as ‘fans’ generally cope with each other these days, who can say but it seems the place has turned more schoolyard than general piss taking and random craic.
Like I say I sit in Hope that this takeover, new dawn, rise from the ashes, can eventually restore some sort of normality on here. Sadly I suspect, should we ever happen to pull off the ridiculous and actually win something, we’d still get a core of fans that would generally twist, moan, argue, abuse and generally piss on someone else’s chips because they’ve nowt better to do.
I’m as fed up with the rest of people on here. I’m no happy clapper, nor am I a Jack Ross hater. Something has to change and we are possible (actually) on the verge of that actually happening after all the shite we have had served up this could be potentially dish up something most of us haven’t yet tasted. Let’s try not to sour that.

there has been fighting / disagreements on this board for as long as I can remember. It happens when people are passionate about something. The difference we have today is that a good number of people refuse or are unable to consider another point of view and the argument reaches such a crescendo that there are 3 steps, walk away, admit wrong or start to be abusive / offer violence.

Unfortunately the society we live in, is where half truths are twisted in order to try and prove your point and the person is shouted over

Yesterday I watched a classic example of that and the interviewer would not listen to the reply to correct but started to talk louder over the correction that was trying to be made.

In other words he wanted to answer his own question

there is a thread on this board in where the OP of that thread has terminal cancer and he says some very valid points and shows that goodness in humanity is still there.
 
Bigger than those two no at present.

Bigger than those two I found it hard to believe but some see the big two smaller than some clubs in championship. It's subjective.

Again...I never pushed for explanation as I had no right to do so as we were relaxing so I can't summise too much really.

But I do fear things ain't right in club and have not been fora while. But I also feel he can sort it out. I know MOST of the players believe so.

If he went to the match he'd have to travel a fair bit too mate.

I'm pretty certain people were discussing him on here when he first started the "I'm a better supporter than you" crack and he was outed as a Scarborough fan who'd only recently changed clubs and username on here?

Their isn't a single club outside our top flight that are bigger than Celtic. Not even remotely close to it
 
That's your view and intend to agree but some may see Scotland national job as bigger....if it was that.

God knows.
 
I see that the potential new investors have an interest in the Miami Marlins MLB team.

Hope that’s not an omen. Because they have been terrible for years and are currently on course to record the third-worst season in over 150 years of baseball history.
