All else being equal…. If you had to swap PR for another British stadium?

I also like the idea of Villa Park as well as some of the other grounds mentioned such as the city ground. Style wise I quite like Ashton Gate, Vicarage Road and Craven Cottage although at the present moment in time we'd ideally want something a bit larger capacity wise than the three of them.

If talking relatively new grounds then yes already mentioned above the idea of a mini Spurs stadium is good but as an alternative, not that anyone has seen a game there yet to see what it's really like on a match day, but of the modern stadiums built in recent years I really like what I've seen so far of Everton's new Bramley-Moore Dock stadium and as has been mentioned in some other posts it's a stadium with blue seats.

A draw would do nicely but if it can’t be a draw then Bournemouth to win please.

I really don’t want to envisage a point at which McKenna is no longer Town manager because if I had my way he’d be manager for the next decade and more.

But if we had to succession plan and contemplate Town post McKenna then one for my shortlist would definitely be Will Still.

When reading this:-

https://totalfootballanalysis.com/opinion/will-stills-managerial-style-is-bluepr

Quoting from it the following is said about his teams style of play:-

“Perhaps the most important facet of Still’s approach to the game is the high press. Reims are one of the most intense teams to play against in Ligue 1 right now, with Still’s demands requiring supreme fitness to keep the game in their opponents’ half for 90 minutes.

Ultimately, it’s all about pulling defences apart and creating wide overloads. The relationship between winger and fullback needs to be on-point, but Reims have shown an explosiveness on numerous occasions to expose full backs and get in behind teams.

Where Still’s approach differs somewhat to Kompany’s style of play is possession. It’s rare to see Reims dominate the ball for 90 minutes, instead preferring to show ingenuity on the counterattack. They’re not afraid to mix it up either, with a nice balance between tiki-taka and direct passes to keep the opposition guessing, as well as a variety of corner routines which they continue to exploit well.

In terms of formations, Still has maintained a pretty consistent 4-2-3-1 for his Reims team. When they do look to play progressively through the thirds, this becomes a 4-1-2-3, as the inside forwards move forward to support the lone striker and the single anchor has two options in advance of him with two mezzala-style midfielders who look to attack the spaces left by the inside forwards.”

When I signed up to them a couple of years ago yes they did at that time offer Economy 7 tariffs but I've not checked more recently I'm afraid to see what their current tariff offerings are.

Following on from this I've also been with Octopus for a couple of years now and I've had no reason to complain about the service so far. I've been happy with them and have renewed my contract with them a couple of months ago.

Also although I've not checked on this for ages but originally when we signed up to them a couple of years ago they were very close to the top of the Which magazine recommended suppliers I think from memory.
