Very good point stand renaming in honour of Tony Parkes 👏

I suppose it would be worse, it could be a defeat to Coronation Street.

I changed the question for you but seemingly didn't want to answer it. I get that we are 9 months out but you want to start your starting line up together now. As I said I only see 3 positions open which are left back, number 10 and left wing. The other 8 are done as far as I am concerned

Huge investment, promotion to the Premier League. Why should we not dream big for our anniversary? you can dream of medicrity if you like.

Not doing too bad on tickets sold for cov be a good one to turn round our season on

2-1 loss to Chester Le Street - no live updates, no team sheet.

There's another international break on Saturday 15th November. I'd have done something on that Saturday - either two 45 minute games (first team friendly & then legends game) or one single mixed Soccer-Aid style game with current first teamers and past players / legends. Just as with whatever they are planning anyway, it would need the presence of a couple of proper legends to draw interest - Shearer, Tugay, Sutton etc.. Make a day of it. Throw in a couple of unannounced surprises. Do the honour caps we've been doing on the day. They should have compiled all previous "goal of the season" winners to let fans vote for a 'goal of the millennium' competition (Reidy). Launch the book and get it signed. Hell, even rename the Riverside in honour of Tony Parkes on the day like they should have done already. There's all sorts you could have done on a day of celebration. But if you are going to do something do it proper, or don't do it at all. Instead they are bolting something which is still lacking detail onto the end of a league game, when people will have been in the ground already for 2.5 hours. It's like they don't understand that if we lose that game the last thing people will be in the mood for is a 'celebration'. And if it is poorly attended people will question why.

Phats And Small - Turn Around

No sorry Tony, I don’t know anything else.

98% of the whole EFL are better run than our club , unfortunately !

Ive seen a few mention on X that Henriksson 2 and Morishita with 1 were the goalscorers.

More likely to see the Brendan Rodgers laughing video tbh.

I think the only logical explanation is spite / petulance / pettiness by the current 'power broker' keen to remove any positive things done by people long since removed from the club.

You’ll have to wear them now just in case.

Get Souness out of retirement...will put the fear of God into those Celts!

Ouch!

We have been asking for years with no real answer as to its removal.

Thanks Carl. Any more information on team selection, scorers etc?

As you say the 100th and 125th games were celebrated against Football League founder members, together with the books issued at that time. If a similar event had been put on this time, I don’t imagine there would have been too much comment. But, if the club want to celebrate by putting on an extra ‘special game’ then at least make it a game against a proper club with some history or relevance

It finished 3-3 apparently

If they turn up I'll run on the pitch in frilly knickers

Agreed. @only2garners , can this be on the agenda please? I’ve asked this to be raised before as I just can’t fathom it… at least the de-Roversisation of Blues Bar they can blame on Sodexho.

To be fair, the league game is a perfect anniversary game without the amateurish add on. Playing a team with a manager, captain and a few other players who left us directly or indirectly because of how shoddily we are run sums up our 150th anniversary very nicely. I presume the owners will all be turning up to mark the event?

Something that would stand in time for future generations. Perhaps a couple of statue unveiling. A home kit worthy of 150 years and not just a one off game (yet to see if it's match worn) A spruce up of the exterior. Perhaps some blue and white gates. Gable end celebratory paintings. The timeline returned. A Ltd edition program. Reduced prices/season tickets. They could of capitalised on the occasion by doing more of these more 'gestural' things rather than fk all. Oh and a bigger Tifo flag that one is tiny. There. Said it
