Interesting and well-balanced write up from a Salopian.
Particularly of note "A substantial pitched roof not only keeps visitors dry but also provides excellent acoustics for football chants." Has an away fan debunked #oafc and especially #owtb lore?

Weird how time works isn’t it? In some US states a pregnant 11 year-old isn’t allowed an abortion because they need to deal with the “adult” consequences of getting pregnant, but 35 year-old neo-Nazis in the govt group chat are “boys” doing “things young boys do”
