Although I have been known to multitask, I would find it difficult to hold that tray with both hands while taking a photo of it. The gravy was close to the edge as it was! :lol:

Observations on the Pirelli compared with the Globe:

IMHO

Our main grandstand is more impressive looking both from the outside on the road and on the inside. I thought theirs looked like a bigger version of Accrington Stanleys main stand and some of the seats in it would have pretty poor views as they are well behind the bye-line.

Our "home" end looks quite a lot bigger than the Burton "home" end which should cheer up some of our own detractors.

Their "away" end is better than ours appears to be in that you enter through a turnstile which is in a fence and then there is quite a large area for fans to mill around compared with a narrow corridor.

Their terraced side of the ground is obviously better than our Northern "Berlin Wall" and interestingly was much better populated than the "home" end.

Apart from the north side out ground looks better than Burtons but I belive it only cost £6.5 million to biuld almost half of what Morecambe paid for the Globe!

Not proper "SOUTHERN" west country faggots as I cannot see the Caul fat around that particular faggot...

I get my faggots from Gloucester market and if any of you wish to come to my house for a meal on a (Cheltenham v Morecambe) match day I will cook you some PROPER & TRADITIONAL faggots.

You won't; we are all friendly down here and I live next to a Wetherspoons :D . I have always experienced a warm welcome in Morecambe and I know for sure that you are decent & civilised people that I would be proud to welcome into my home.

Has the club sorted out the lack of peas and gravy yet??? Just as Burton are known and liked for their faggots, Morecambe are known for their great pies. I feel that the gravy and peas only served to enhance the half-time delicacy. Just because we have a swanky new stadium, doesn't mean we can go all southern and lay off the meat juice. What next? Fizzy piss in the bar? People walking around unshaven with girly hair and sandals? £1 million council houses? Guacamole and latte??? Sort it out!!!

We want gravy! Join the revolution!!!

It looks like theirs is only one upstairs floor though, so those boxes would probably incorporate their sponsors lounge as well, whereas we have the Wright and Lord suit for sponsors and guests plus the boxes on the second floor.

That was clever, using the same image to depict both aspects of your post!
