Bill Posted January 4, 2008 Report Share Posted January 4, 2008 Yeah there has to be a point where the fans say "enough is enough" and simply cant afford it any more, The FA and PREMIER League have to realise that they cant get blood out of a stone. Football will end up being run by TV companys, played in corporate business stadiums, with only a pay for view coverage available to "the man in the street".

Pat Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Football will end up being run by TV companys, played in corporate business stadiums, with only a pay for view coverage available to "the man in the street". Change the 1st Word football to Sport In general & The Uk can learn alot from Australia's mistakes. That has happend down under, besides major events (International sport's bit of Rugby & AFL - Govt has a rule that forces some events to be free 2 air- mostly Cricket n stuff) Then 1 can add, mostly EMPTY STADIUMS as the man on the street has lost touch not seeing alot of these sports & those that do pay 2 view, simply do that. Pay & watch @ home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matt_yakubu Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I can not believe that people are goin to stop going to watch Everton. Just because they are trying to move to Kirkby. Goodison is 70 miles away from my house. But a little more miles will not hurt. So I am definitely goin to watch Everton at Kirkby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louis Posted February 18, 2008 Report Share Posted February 18, 2008 Alright Matt, welcome to ToffeeTalk My problem is not the four miles. It's partly because Everton are leaving the city in a period of renaisance to a town on the outskirts of Knowsley that is closer to St Helens than it is to Liverpool city centre. It's partly because stadium in reality is a lot different to what was voted for It's partly because the stadium is on a retail park It's partly because we have been lied to again and again about the price of the stadium (some people still think it will cost £35million) It's partly because we won't own the stadium outright (we will own a third) or the land it is built on. It's partly because there have been talks to turn Goodison into a Tesco (how else would the club state they will receive £15million for land worth £4million and the local MP turn a blind eye to a business that generates £50million leaving his area, he knows theres another company with a similar turnover coming in that offers local people jobs!) It's party because our CEO stated that turnover will increase by £10million per annum if we move yet much of this money will be swallowed up by new stadium costs and paying off our other debts which means we will be worse off by moving to Kirkby.

Blue 250 Posted February 19, 2008 Report Share Posted February 19, 2008 (edited) What is begining to stop my visits to Goodison let alone Kirkby, is the ever decreasing amounts of Saturday 3.00 kick offs Sure it has to happen to get money from TV deals, but work, family and travel play a big part in most peoples lives, and anything other than Sat 3.00 isn't an easy option! Where ever a new stadium is built, we will still come when we can....JUST gives us back a few more SAT.......3.00's. Even this Thursday!.......At home to Bran live on channel 5......JUST happens to be parent teacher night ...........Me and my son are planning a very fast encounter with his teachers........PE SHOULDN'T be a problem as the PE teacher is a Blue, the rest of the teachers and mum could be a problem though.
