Fan zone in town

[makumstu]

Who on earth would pay to stand outside in the rain watching a screen?

Madness

I went with Friends to Shields FC only around 20 or so, but 3 Black & White tops on display.

The Lakeside when I passed it on the way back looked a bit Chavtastic but seemed like it had been busy.

Wtf, even if it was bouncing that is dreadful, what are they thinking charging people for that piece of shit.

Something Speakman would serve up that.

What’s wrong with it? They’ve got them all over the country. Some people, not me, like to be in a crowd watching it on a big screen so they can create an atmosphere.

I prefer to watch it on the telly so I can actually watch the match personally.

It does look a bit crap compared to what they could have had over Keel Square like where the screen was and they had put tables and chairs across the square.

It's a tiny screen in a small space, Keel square with a massive screen would have been much better

This paying to get in places has all of a sudden become the norm. I was in Manchester City centre watching last night and there was hardly anywhere that wasn't charging if you wanted a decent seat.

Are those new buildings on the right?
Looks like something they'd build in the 60s. Grim.

Both new. The one on the right isn’t finished yet. Still being built. The picture looks a bit drab, but they look canny in real life.

It’s the brown office block that annoys me everytime I pass it. Looks bloody awful, can’t believe it got signed off

You get annoyed by a building?

That would be the Beam which has won RIBA awards. But what would architects know eh.

Seems we've never learned from our mistakes.
Add the new bridge to that, and Sunderland is fast turning into a brutalist mess.

Marra it’s ugly, rest of the place looks spot on but it looks like it was designed 40 year ago

Looks hideous

 

[tunstallhill]

I'm shocked that there are actually people there, on a Sunday tea time, stood outside in the pissing rain, watching Slovenia v Denmark

Just quickly looked that up.
Looks like the Get Carter car park or something :-(

Well if it's the first time you've seen those buildings, then obviously you don't visit too often.

Is that which games is on?

Bit of a sly post then. How many other fanzones were packed out for that one?
