The "Mighty Juggernaut" thread

I wouldn't even say it was there home ground anymore, it belongs to the NFL and the plastics are allowed to borrow it every other Saturday.

 

You are right unfair on Arsenal

 

I think you are showing so much insight regarding the building of new stadia. Arsenal were put back 10 years by the same folly and I sincerely hope my team has second thoughts. Being a latter day Nostradamus I foresee all the London clubs being owned by Thai & Chinese money within 5 years.


Laundry anyone?

 

I'm glad you appreciate my insight. The problem is they build a ground to accommodate tourists not supporters. The Thai and Chinese investment is all about their addiction to gambling. Already we've seen accusations of corporate espionage, this is no longer about football. Spurs are not a Football Club anymore in it's own entity. They are just like a huge roulette wheel and one day the ball is going to spin off the table.

 

Sad but true.

 

tbh, the game isn't what i fell in love with back in the 70s. I know plenty of supporters that don't have the same passion for the game as they did before. Paying players X thousand per week to do something most of us would do for free is frankly obscene.

 

You're nuts. We've sold 40k season tickets and have the same number on the waiting list.

 

So why were you selling seats for £25?

 

Three out of four ain't bad. Having s new stadium allows the wealthy fans to subsidise the others. Having two uses for the stadium effectively halved the costs without hurting the fans at all.

 

Because there are nearly 90,000 seats at Wembley.

 

It won't hurt the two Yid shysters.

 

And like Wst Ham (your parent club) you didn't want to play in a coffin.

 

I don't actually think this is true. The ground has the crowd closer to the pitch than any other. The South stand has no corporate layer so will be a wall of sound.

 

The value of the club in a sale is the sum of the expected future cash flows. So if the club can be sold at a profit that proves the stadium is not a drain on resources. Thats why your logic that the owners are in it only for the money is irrelevant. Anything that increases the value of the club must also improve the chance of success on the field.

Of course if Arsenal had had the foresight to build a sensible multipurpose stadium then you'd already have an NFL franchise and we'd be ****ed.

 

Fooking a nuke that one

 

Cries of ' Follow the shoe'.
