>>SimonM...I see killgallon has gone. A big loss? Nice to see another ex-Leeds academy product in the premiership though.<<


I think so. But he is in his prime at 26 & it has been clear for ages he wanted to leave, so ?2 million 21 games before he could have gone for nothing is not bad going. He turned down both Newcastle and Burnley before agreeing to Sunderland. I take it you realise Leeds get 20% of the fee? :))

Has to be said, every time I see Gary Co*k I like him less and less. A disgrace to the club he allegedly supports.

The Mad Hatter NY is the hq of MCFC Official Supporters Club NYC- there is a large fanbase there.

We get 400k....good stuff. Might come in handy for next season. Hope he does well at Sunderland.

I think just as many idiots follow Rugby it's just footy is more intense and perhaps brings rowdy behaviour quicker to the fore.

It's more to do with Rugby fans being more middle class than football fans. My wife used to live in Twickenham and got really fed up with Rugby fans weeing through her letter box

No Matthew - a much higher proportion of idiots follow football. Rugby is a bit more civilised, surely. I'm not aware that there has ever been violence between rugby fans - compared to the history of violence between football fans - surely that says it all.

I was part of a group of Moseley fans attacked by Leicester fans at the Cup Final at Twickenham as far back as 1979!! And from talking to colleagues who go to games regularly, it does seem to be creeping into fan behaviour as the game tries to attract a wider audience.

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
