DrZuess1979 the 2nd Posted 27 March, 2015 Share Posted 27 March, 2015 when i went to Build-A-Bear workshop, I just went straight in and started building my bear without architect plans, and made decisions about what extras and type of hat and squeaking heart etc I wanted as I went along. Edit: It come out pretty good + only slightly over budget I had totally the opposite experience I was rail roaded into something I didn't, A want or B need I blame one direction and frozen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Fry Posted 27 March, 2015 Share Posted 27 March, 2015 CB Fry without Turkish is like Morecambe without Wise ... or perhaps more appropriately s hit without flies. Rhyming couplets about Turkish are very welcome on this forum, but there is a particular thread you need to submit them to, you can't just post them anywhere.

S-Clarke Posted 22 June, 2015 Share Posted 22 June, 2015 It would have been pretty silly to expand just yet to be honest. He's right, once we've shown there is the demand (i.e selling out season tickets, selling out the stadium every week) then there is reason to do it. Otherwise we're just going to look a little silly in an expanded stadium with lots of empty seats. I'm pleased to hear him say that their primary objectivie is to focus on the playing side of the club for the time being, which is exactly how it should be.

hypochondriac Posted 22 June, 2015 Share Posted 22 June, 2015 We have the same money man (or woman) that we had before. It is no more likely to happen now than it was when Cortese was chairman.

I think he'd be more likely than Krueger to push for it, it then becomes a question of if he could get the finance for it.

At the point some of these previous posts and threads you & Turkish are now trawling up were written we didn't know what the relationship between Cortese and Liebherr was like for certain. We know have a better understanding, given the way things ended and other things have come to light. A lot was still just forum rumour and unsubstatiated press speculation. Had Cortese and Liebherr had a better relationship perhaps his ambition for the stadium may have proven more likely to gain favour from our financial backer.

The specification required to play in the Premier League more than covers anything we'd need for European games. I've seen lots of them, that still doesn't mean there aren't certain regulations we will need to meet but don't already. It's been 12 years, things will have changed since we were last in Europe and we weren't exactly considering UEFA stadium regulations for the first 9 of those. We might not need them until the group stage or knockout when the media requirements might up a bit, but I doubt there are NO changes the club could make to improve the facilities relating to European competition. Plus the club have already said they're making changes, they'll already know what they can do better with. I look forward to your next facilities update just so I can point out which of them relate to UEFA regulations to you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The specification required to play in the Premier League more than covers anything we'd need for European games. I imagine if anything, it would be a bunch of completely arbitrary and relatively minor things, rather than some overall subjective assessment of the quality of the stadium. Banner hanging would be a good example. If you could google up a list of UEFA ground regulations for the Europa League (2015/2016 season, naturally) that'd be just great.

CB Fry Posted 22 June, 2015 Share Posted 22 June, 2015 Ha. Just caught up with this. I'm sure I'll cope. LOL. You both fail to see the context those posts were written in. At the time of my posts the club was being run by someone who commissioned expansion designs. Circumstances changed under new management. Did either of you predict Cortese's departure? Yes, but lots of people said at the time, in that context, that we still wouldn't do anything until we were selling out and/or with a waiting list. In the meantime your were posting up pictures of Wolves ground (is it 50,000 yet MLG?) and rambling about Chelsea in 1983. At the point some of these previous posts and threads you & Turkish are now trawling up were written we didn't know what the relationship between Cortese and Liebherr was like for certain. We know have a better understanding, given the way things ended and other things have come to light. A lot was still just forum rumour and unsubstatiated press speculation. Had Cortese and Liebherr had a better relationship perhaps his ambition for the stadium may have proven more likely to gain favour from our financial backer. As above. All irrelevant as a major investment like that was only going to happen if we were maxed out. We never were, we still aren't. No expansion required. FFS, this is so fecking childish and pointless, you're wrong, I'm right, na na na na na. Like a spoilt kid in the playground. So the feck what. Yeah, but we were right and he was wrong, na na na na na. Last word from MLG, for the ages.....
