New Stadium

[Blanchflower]

Some/many people criticising me on here seem to be unaware of contingency planning, which includes looking at 'catastrophe scenarios'. Any time a company is planning a massive change such as we are, has to be aware, as much as possible of what could go wrong.

What do you do Greavesie? I hope it doesn't involve leaving the house.

Scudamore demonstrating his understanding of all things football I see.

Though I would find it amusing if we played at the effeminates as the home team while Woolwich sat in the away end of their own stadium...and the fact that by the time the new WHL was built we would have 61,000 more seats than them!!

Would be really amusing to out-draw them in their own ground.

But that doesn't out-weigh the depression of going there in the first place.

The thought of us fucking up on this, and getting chucked out of the Prem because we don't have a home fit for purpose is frightening to say the least. A 61k stadium in the Conference

Getting this move right and us safely back into the new stadium is going to be the biggest challenge ENIC have faced during their ownership of this club, I hope they're up to the task.

Imagine £61k in a local derby against Braintree though...that's what dreams are made of!

Seriously though mate, do you honestly think Levy won't have a plan in place should the build time exceed that of a season? Course he will. He'll just assume that it'll all be done on time and to schedule and he won't consider any options for the following season - definitely not. It'll be done. For sure. It has to be, right? Do building projects ever not get finished on time?

It's any wonder Levy doesn't have you on the board of directors to remind him of such possibilities - I doubt anyone within the club has even considered this? YOU SHOULD EMAIL THEM NOW MATE OR ELSE IT'S AWAY DAYS IN GRIMSBY FOR US ALL!!

Your ability to turn a massive positive for your beloved club into a negative is truly unique - and astounding.

And boring.

You say you care about the club - try fuckin' enjoying them for once rather than complaining and playing Devil's Advocate every single day.

"We won!"
"Yeah but we could have lost..."
"Yes but we didn't - three points in the bag. Get in!"
"But imagine if we lost. We'd have got no points. How depressing."
"But we didn't lose!!"
"But we could have lost"

Milton Keynes will be hosting the rugby world cup... I am sure it can cope with Premier league... I mean Blackpool and now Bournemouth have / had their shitty grounds in the premier league.

Does look like Wembley is off the cards though. If it is true that it can only host 39 events and we are not allowed to use 2 grounds. Even if we used it for the 19 league games only Wembley has:

Conference play off final
League 2 play off final
league one play off final
Championship play off final
League cup final
2 FA Cup Semi finals
FA Cup Final
JPT Final
FA Vase Final
Community Shield
Womans FA Cup Final
4* England home games
3 NFL International series games

That is 19 events that I can think of off the top of my head...

Wouldn't it just be crazy for them to maybe use that £800m tax funded stadium for more than 11% of the year...



Wait, no no. I went mental there for a second. Carry on as you are everyone

 

[YidoBuckler]

We may be then left hostages to (ill) fortune, and once you''re in that situation, all sorts of horrors might unfold.

We'd be going to Milton Keynes for a season not fucking Somalia. Give me a break.

i understand his point (I completely agree with it. a club should only have one home stadium in a season except in truly exceptional circumstances).


However, (not aimed at you, AY) I will need reminding which premier league chairman was pushing for an extra game to be played overseas. and where the integrity of the competition went then.

But isn't rebuilding a stadium an exceptional circumstance? It's not like it happens every couple of seasons. Considering how the PL will benefit from Spurs having a brand-spanking-new-state-of-the-art-stadium, surely they could let this one slide. Have most home games at Wembley and just use MK when there is absolutely no other option.

Richard Scudamore should get back in his box and stop making up bullshit rules. If a club is rebuilding THEIR OWN ground and can't play at it for that season, why shouldn't they use whatever grounds are available? This is absolute bollocks. If you can only ever use one ground in the Premier League send the fucking Wandering Cunts back to where they came from.

For me, truly exceptional circumstances would be something you cant plan for.

 

[Cripps14]

Having only ever seen Garth Crooks since he's become a pundit, I just cannot imagine the words "Oh he's outpaced them" ever being uttered in relation to Crooks.

Fair enough.

I myself just really don't see an issue with it for one season, after which we know we'll be heading back to where we belong.

Aye, it a stadium being bombed or destroyed by fire, that kind of thing, not because we want an extra touch of legroom and a fish tank behind the dugouts.

I haven't seen anything on the microsite describing how the new stadium will respond to an attack by Decepticons. Why isn't ENIC planning for catastrophes?

Some of the posters on here thing Levy is a decepticon. New range, "shortbaldticons"

The game against the MLS Allstars is going to be played at Dick's Sporting Goods Park.

It doesn't sound like an elite venue somehow.

Well it is run by Stan Kroenke.

 

[Audere]

I'd rather we played at the scumerites than MK fucking Dons.

It would piss them off way more than it could piss us off. We did the same for them after WWII so they us a favour.

Last game of the season we trash it though.

It's been MK for over a year - all the other talk is just that.

i'd rather not have a new stadium than play a fucking season in the scum's library :kanewtf:

why?

 

[Nabil Bentaleb]
