The Taylor report and the cash made available to clubs to help transform their stadia was fundamental in the huge change the sport went through in the 90’s.

It was badly needed at the time too. I stood on those old terraces, and some of those grounds were truly ****ing awful.
Along with the way fans were treated by the police, Hillsborough was an accident waiting to happen.
Who said it guaranteed anything? Not me.
Let’s not pretend that sustained survival and then success doesn’t require investment though.
Yeh I get that..I mean it's only £5 a pint at Elland Road so they're practically giving it away by London standards.Well that will come from the fact that we charge a ****in **** load for fans to get in
Part of that is always going to be the demographic and geographic variation on living standards and wages etc.
London prices are always going to be higher than the North of England.
My generation would all probably prefer to sit down in comfort than stand up behind a goal
You can see more and appreciate more from a side on view that allows you to see both touch lines and goal lines
I do sometimes miss the excitement of seeing the ball hit the back of the net

I got a ton of grief on here for telling people that I took my own banana to games.
25p from the corner shop.
You are right but you have to invest in the right combination of players
A few clubs can afford to buy thirty players get the right eleven but the rest can't

Depends on wether you intended to eat it or not
Think they're probably banned at ERI got a ton of grief on here for telling people that I took my own banana to games.

Yeah ... but you don't get fined if you fail to return a book on time like they do at The Emirates

Not606 classic that
Remember PNP having a ****ing pissy fit over that. He simply would not have it that somebody might take a banana to a game to actually eat it
The more forward thinking clubs used some of the windfall to help transform their entire stadiums (iirc the cash made available by Govt was a matched contribution or %age of the total invested).
Villa under the much maligned Doug Ellis rebuilt their entire ground whilst keeping the traditional feel, it was a great piece of work by Ellis. Sunderland built the Stadium of Wind off the back of it. We built an out the box single tier stand. [HASHTAG]#levels[/HASHTAG]
If that's the case Conte will walk and the paying fans will go for Levy and the board.
Conte was clearly given assurances regarding the squad and transfer budgets or he'd never have joined us.
He is not passed it or desperate to look like he is still relevant like Maureen so has nothing to lose by walking away.
The board and Levy **** themselves after fan reaction to the United performance.
The reaction to us not signing players and Conte leaving would be extreme.
Our performances have been not just poor in terms of results but boring as ****.
Spurs have lost thousands of memberships (£45 each) and have not been selling out games as a result of fans being pissed off with them (poor football, sacking Pochettino, bringing in both JM and Nuno, the furlough threat, the esl farce, huge ticket prices) so risking more fan unrest makes no sense.
But maybe you're right. January will tell.
yeah, it goes back to the very start of football, work teams riddled with ringers.
Actually it probably pre-dates football, imagine the Romans had something similar going on.
It's all about prestige.
This is the same man that gave assurances that he’d back Poch and the same man that gave assurances to Modric and Kane that they could both leave.
Im not saying he won’t put his hand in his pocket ever again, but he obvs feels the £400m he’s poured into transfers since the new stadium should have some returns.
