RuffRob 502 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 Just had a bit of a read up on this Project Big Picture - It does all sound like wolf in sheep's clothing. I love the fact that they want to be able to vote if other clubs can be bought out by a wealthy owner. Proper taking the piss that is. Chelsea and then Man City bought themselves a place in the 'Top 6', and I am not sure Spurs can consider themselves as a nailed down top 6 team, they have had a few good years and have been very fortunate with the first incarnation of Garth Bale and then Harry Kane being goal machines for them (Could DCL be our very own Harry Kane!!). Top 6 is only a snapshot at anyone period of time, this would definitely be a move for those there at this moment in time to try and lock this in more permanently. Most clubs are never going to vote for this!!! StevO and London Blue 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Most clubs are never going to vote for this!!! Someone educate me, do all EFL clubs get a vote? If they do I could see league one and two sides saying we’ll never be in the premier we need the money and vote yes. That’s the worry. If it’s just premier league teams I don’t think this passes.

I think it just Premier league clubs - guessing top 6 would vote 'yes' possible Everton, Southampton and West Ham as the other - but not sure. I am not sure on how 'yo-yo' clubs would vote, if they think it's 50-50 between being in Prem or EFL. I am guessing the big clubs getting a say on who buys into other clubs might sway a lot of votes to a 'No' Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevO 5,794 Posted October 13, 2020 Report Share Posted October 13, 2020 It would need 14 of the 20 premier league clubs to vote for it. Anyone who’s goal is to finish between 10th and 17th would be mad to vote for what would effectively be making it harder to stay in the league. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StevO 5,794 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 I understand the reasoning, but I want the government to run the country, we have the FA, the premier league and the football league to run football. Other than keeping fans out of the stadiums, why else would the government need to be involved in the sport? Unless these three groups of executives can’t find their arses with both hands.

Shukes 4,460 Posted October 14, 2020 Report Share Posted October 14, 2020 Seems like a step back to the Jurassic era for me. We do a lot on this world to try and equal things out (not enough mind), and this would be a way to separate the rich from the poor even more. Totally against it.

The only involvement the Government should have is to let fans back into stadiums. That would put a nail in the coffin of this proposal straight away.

Popular Post StevO 5,794 Posted November 10, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Everyone received the email about the next batch of surveys about the match day experience? Im looking forward to this one. This is the make or break finer detail stuff. Exciting. Bill, MikeO, Matt and 2 others 5 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StevO 5,794 Posted November 10, 2020 Report Share Posted November 10, 2020 Just took the survey and I’m very impressed with the ideas displayed. Love the idea of having bars and restaurants inside the stadium, it’s a shame they look like they will just be for premium seating though. If they put a couple of real pubs inside the south stand and opened a couple of hours before kick off they could pick up some of the money that currently gets spent on County Road. They could stay open a couple of hours after the match too, it would filter the traffic a bit around the ground and scoop up more money. I like that you might be able to upgrade to hospitality on a match by match basis too, would be good if they kept one of the lounges without members and was used only for season ticket upgrades, I think it would be full every week and have a waiting list. Great that you can personalise your box if you get one too, great idea that! I like that parking is being considered on a seasonal basis. They are really getting into the detail, and that is massively important to me. pete0, Matt, Romey 1878 and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Popular Post MikeO 12,985 Posted January 14 Popular Post Report Share Posted January 14 Best thing about this (well not the best but a nice side issue) will be stuffing it down the throat of the smug Koppite idiots who post stuff like, "..they're building a new stadium you know🤣.." all over the internet. We will have a superb new home and we will secure the legacy in L4 for the community. We won't trample people into the gutter and chuck them out of their homes like some have done.

Heads are going to fall off once they realise it really is happening. They’ve been convinced it wouldn’t happen and it’ll terrify them once it becomes reality because they really are shit scared of where we could get to. barryj, MikeO, markjazzbassist and 1 other 4 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
