I think you will find a certain mr whelan owns the jjb[/quote]

maybe but we have kept the place running since it was opened

it is whelans money that keeps the jjb open not the receipts from the 5000 that turned up at SaFORD

not a bad idea new ground of our own standing and seating would defo bring bak a top atmosphere

Standing areas? What next, Saints style alfresco bogs? :eh:

Rather than going back to the so-called good old days we should be moving forward. If it was affordable, I'd like a cardiff style lid put on the JJB!

I have supported both teams for over 30 years when 1500 were turning up at central park in the mid seventies and even less at springfield park in the old floodlight days. But i am a realist and neither teams have the fan base took keep a stadium like the jjb open.Both sets of fans should be grateful for a chance to see there team play at such a stadium
