Keel Crossing [opened 18.10.25] - compendium thread

[Brett]

Will they turn my complaint into an issue about brown people?

And ask how many small boats will be going under the bridge

 

[RestlessNatives]

Ah really?! That’s nee good for me. Who do I complain to?

I've nee experience in building bridges but I'd definitely have opened it at 12.45. Absolute disc race.

My plan is to leave the house at 2pm in the hope that the parade is done by the time I get there and I can just wander across. It's a delicate act as I could end up being part of it which is definitely not my intention.

I would have had Ji v Man City ahead of Kone

Great goal but controversy whether he was offside hangs over it, would it be given today with VAR in place? Tbh now seems like a lifetime since he scored that goal and all a blur.

Pitching a tent (no) to be first in line to cross it. Bosh

 

[Weststand]

Wonder how long before INCH gets his name on it

Was told INCH is a middle aged bloke, prob is considering how many years that tag has been about. Police know who he is apparently. Locals round my way will spray paint him if he was caught, same with that "Eyes" tagger. Some amazing bits of graffiti but a lot of it is just scrawl and utter mess. Was in Poland not so long back and the graffiti was everywhere but no rubbish, on some lovely buildings, can only think the locals are just so used to it, not bothered.

hope nee-one minds when I bring me newly purchased Chieftan tank over at 2.45

Brussels is the same. Hideous.

Mine looked very different but I didn’t get it till 94/95 so maybe this was an earlier card.

Aye, its an early, 1980's Gold Card, iirc.

Just if you are going from the Sheepfolds to the Town.

 

[the dude]

Playing under the bridge on the lunchtime news coverage of it opening. Wonder if they know that the song isn't really about a bridge

 

[Longy]

Is under the bridge open yet? Can I get along the river from Suddick to Roker?

Which type 2 or 3 ? how you finding the Chobham armour ? The great thing about having a British tank you can always make a cup of tea.

hoping for BUDWEISER to be sprayed at some point, too, a nice nod to the Monkwearmouth Bridge

 

[Black_Cats1879]

Recon it’s going to be busier than usual

 

[EDGE]

Won't be complete until we have some "Corrupt Council" flyers posted at regular intervals.
