Lol, that would be some ground-share that would!

Didn't Sunderland ground share at SJP while the Stadium of [Shite] Light was being built? or is my memory playing tricks on me?

Really? I’m amazed if SJP didn’t need a full refurb afterwards.

How many ground shares have there ever been during stadium reconstruction? Loads in Scotland for Clyde, Hamilton, Clydebank, Celtic, Gretna, etc.

In England I can think of Arsenal (Wembley for European matches), Spurs (Wembley), Wimbledon (Selhurst Park), Charlton (Selhurst Park, Upton Park), Brighton (Gillingham), Bristol Rovers (Bath), Rotherham (Don Valley Stadium), and Coventry (Northampton, St Andrews).

Fulham ( Loftus Road)? And I’m not sure Wimbledon would count, Selhurst Park was more of a temporary home before they became MK Dons, there was no real attempt to rebuild Plough Lane at the time

Temporary?

They played there for twelve years!

Yeah, but I seem to remember there was always something else about to happen, it just never did!

So when are they building the new north stand?

Well we don't wave gimp flags in our ground (unlike the Arse and Dippers) only in the South Stand. And where are the double-height advertising hoardings and removed seats from the first 2-3 rows of the ground. Poor effort !
