Re: What will the lasting legacy of ALK be?
Well nobody knows for sure but the strong balance of probability is that we will be in deep financial doo-doo. ALK have paid WAY over the odds to make the takeover happen, and have loaded the club up with debt to pay for it. It looks like an enormous gamble. Credit where it's due, some of the ideas ...

25 million for Wood is the best piece of transfer business I can ever remember. And I remember we got 1.2 million for Wayne Thomas.
And I’m pretty optimistic that Weghorst will be an upgrade.

Re: Football stadium food (footy scran)
I'm obsessed with Footy Scran! Sadly it really highlights how limited the Turf Moor catering is.
30+ years ago we played Chesterfield away and won 1-0 with Peter Mumby scoring. The pie was so tasty that I still remember it.
