TyChan posted:]Unless you can get the money from actual fans, which is rare, the only way you get the necessary funds nowadays is by turning clubs from these "ventures of love" to something exploitable and attractive to businessmen who have different priorities and will run clubs much, much differently than fans would. How do Chelsea, Man City, Sunderland and Wigan, for instance, match this pattern? The way most clubs are getting the funds necessary to compete or even survive in the premier league isn't by turning football clubs into lean money making enterprises, it's by having a loving rich owner or borrowing. Which has been the case for years. Only the money required - and the risk to those borrowing - is much greater. With what the result of what we see at Portsmouth today. Wigan or Hull tomorrow. Maybe even a big club.

Middlesbrough, Wigan or Bolton getting relegated is not the 'end of football'. A premier league club going bust, or the others in that division and the ones below that follow it is not the end of football either. What it hopefully signals is a correction. A move away from the debt-fueled madness we have now to something more sustainable and healthy. You can hide your head in the sand all you like, but something has got to change. I'm sure you're quite happy with the situation at the moment. While the club you've attached yourself to is able to meet its massive debt payments and keep at the top of the game why wouldn't you be. Maybe if or when they can't you might change your mind. Or maybe you'll just find another club. Who knows.

And some people are buying clubs and plunging them millions into debt chasing the premier league 'dream', leaving them broken in the process. It's got to change because it's unsustainable. There's only so many sugar daddies to go round, especially when they have to be sweeter every year to keep up.

Barudak posted:Well I looked into it to make sure. 600 out of 50,000 seats were affected. They put tv monitors in the area and dropped the price from 12 to 5 USD. On the other hand the stadium cost 1.5 Billion USD so its not exactly like the 600 seats saved them a ton money. I don't know much about stadium design engineering but it seems to me choosing to build a stand using 'traditional' supports rather than a modern cantilever design is a pretty fundamental decision to do things on the cheap and not something that could be easily fixed after it's built.

No the best protest was a bunch of geordies who protested at Mike Ashley by writing 'Boycout the Club' on their duvet cover. Or maybe the geordies who booed out Bobby Robson - probably the same ones crying on Look North when he died. Or maybe the ones insisting Keegan comes back to manage NUFC, which they'll be doing again come October.
