Well run, lovely brand new stadium, and a great Sports Bar to boot. Just 15 mins away by car. Proper, honest, football and fan-friendly. Completely the other end of the scale to us. Re Sunderland... Yes it used to be great when you'd go with mates of other teams to matches and they'd come to Hillsborough or away matches with me. That was down to affordable tickets though, now no chance my Everton mates would pay forty pounds to enter Hillsborough, ripoff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would leave the Coaching side to Martin O Neill and Roy Keane ... I would deal with the boring stuff like entertaining our fans with good offers and merchandise and making Hillsborough a happier experience.. Not Rocket Science is it ?

Harborne Owl Posted January 4, 2018 Share Posted January 4, 2018 This is bad timing but I genuinely have a soft spot for Burton Albion, it didn't make Monday any less painful mind. It goes back to a University friend who supports them, when we first met they were barely surviving in League 2 and I'm pleased for him that the club has reached the heights it has.
