Princess Street?

Showing where princess st was, at a guess, to the left of the "A"

Oh great a zoomed-out, google maps screenshot.

If I was that bothered I could've googled it meself

Seems that Allam in the HDM may lean towards the natural expansion of the stadium with an extra 5000 seats

It says nothing of the sort. It's pure speculation on the journalist’s part.

How's he going to do that if he refuses to speak to the stadium owners? Hopefully his mega dummy spit is going to come back and bite him on his donkey.

Football, Soccer, Association Football, whatever your personal name for it ........ there are records of if being referred to as soccer before football, by 15/20 years.

Personally i've called it Footy, Soccer and Football at one time or another and they are pretty much equally valid in my eyes.

I'd still rather be a fat lad watching some egg chasers by about a million times over

Evening gents, just passing by and though I'd stick my oar in(again).

Soccer is indeed a historic term used to differentiate between rugby football and association football, just as it's used to separate between American football or Ausie rules in other countries now.

It was largely abandoned here, as the two sports were commonly referred to as either rugby or football and soccer became more a term of derision.

As for attendances, the Cardiff game was a sell out, for reasons that escape me, the Safety Advisory Group decided that almost 1,600 seats needed to be left empty. When we were last in the Premier League, pretty much every game was a sell out, just the segregation seats and a shortage of away fans reduced attendances. Though for some reason, for one game against Liverpool, it was decided that just a few hundred seats needed to be used for segregation, so that game ended up setting a record attendance of 25,000.

For next season, 2,500 seats have to be offered to away fans, 2,500 have to be sold as match day tickets and 20,000 can be sold as season tickets(all of those numbers are reduced by about 5% due to segregation). 14,500 season tickets have been sold already and now we've been promoted, I expect we'll sell the rest.

Just thought I'd clarify.

Congratulations on the win.

City "sold" 20,000 tickets for their party this week, well including passholders (12k) it was 20k (so about 8k tickets given away)

6000 turned up for your party, hardly any season tickets turned up

I blame the Council for their abject failure to lay on free return bus transport from all over the East Riding

I grew up in the South East and we used soccer and football interchangeably. Never heard soccer used as a term of derision either, and that's certainly not the way I use it.

I think a lot of the problem people have with using soccer now is that it's seen as an American word.
