Could be worse. How much did Man Utd and Liverpool spend to serve up the same level of entertainment?

Originally posted by Snake Plissken View PostThe tunnel was where the home supporters are. It was moved at Skys behest for the 2014 Premier League season.
Ah, has it been moved to a different stand (and in the traditional place on the halfway line) then? Or just within the same stand.
I haven't been there since 2008. In that game Darren Purse got sent off in injury time for a bad challenge on Andy Cole, who then pursued him towards the tunnel for a ruck which, as I recall, caused some away fans to surge towards the area.

It always seemed odd to me that the players dressing rooms were directly under the away fans, therefore it could help gee up the visitors. It's only since about 2015-16 that the home fans have been given about a third of it. Sadly it was typical of the penny-pinching of the board at the time that when it came to building the Jimmy Mac and James Hargreaves Stands that they didn't build them with potential segregation in mind therefore the Cricket Field Stand is the only place that away fans can be put.
Not that the cricket club mind - it's a lovely little earner for them.

After two years, West Ham still can't seem to master the dimensions of their 'new' home. That's at least three crossfield passes that have gone sailing into the mist this half.
If they had a bit more guile about them, Liverpool could get a hatful here.
