Good old football - never changes. Yet another 'hotel+ground' chimera. How long have clubs been clinging to this particular last hope? It must be at least 40 years by now. Didn't Bates start it all at Chelski? And that worked well - up to their eyeballs in shite until the Russian Mafia stepped in with their money-laundering scheme. Of course, this one might be different, it might work - after all people are desperate for hotel accomodation in Britain's top seaside resort... I was under the impression that they already had permission to build it last year but then the man with the money came to his senses and pulled out. We don't want it to happen...……..Jay might want to stay there!

We did, of course, play at a ground with a hotel attached in the not too distant past

We did, of course, play at a ground with a hotel attached in the not too distant past We also played at a ground where there are flats on the corner looking out into the stand. (Leyton orient). Very strange looking at them and seeing kids toys in the windows, that look out at the away section, if the kids don't pick up some catchy chants and choice language from living there they never will.

I saw Leyton O v Sheff U a few seasons ago and it was most amusing to see some cockney types celebrating with champers when the Os scored. Then some right big super hard Sheff U fan started having a proper pop and they shushed up.
