I don't mind the stadium issue debate. Stan has his views on it, I have mine. It is when he starts dismissing previous positives that FSG have done that I have been most vocal about

I don't mind the debate but the problem is when people ignore very valid points you post an d act as if you are stupid. But I guess we all see things from a different perspective and have a blind spot to the others points. Both sides have very valid points.

I'll be honest, I'd trade Anfield in for a flying stadium grin


Fvck the 90k stadium, that's not thinking forward, that's small time.

Even if it bankrupts up, at least I can boast to all my buddies we have a flying stadium (but no players and no club)

Go to the millennium or wembley


Why are we even talking about a 90k stadium? Some people want to run before walking. It's very good to think long term, but if your short term is not sorted out, your long term is irrelevant. Our objective has always been to have a 60k stadium mainly with more corporate facilities as this is where we are going to make money. Yes we may need more in 10 years time (nobody really knows how the industry will evolve) so spending more now and crippling the club makes no sense whatsoever. In 10 years time, there could be other options like better/relatively cheaper construction technique for 3 tiered stadiums, better possibility for ground sharing etc.


Vish the option to go to 90 not to go to 90, 65 is my immediate ideal target


We don't even know when we'll need to go to 90k so spending some 300m more now for just 2000 more seats (as soon as you go above 60k the marginal cost goes up significantly due to structural changes) is a no brainer. Yes, it will become handy maybe in 10 years when/if we need to further expand, but, what's the use of paying at least 15m of interest every year for 10 years. Not worth it in my books.

As I recall I put him onto it.

Vish for the 42nd time I an NOT NOT NOT NOT saying we build a 90k seater stadium next week just the design gives the option to expand an option that our local rivals have in manchester.

Is there any part of that, that is unclear ?

Either you don't read or don't want to. I know you are not saying to build a 90k seater next week. I am saying for the 43rd time, we do not need to do a new stadium that can be expanded into 90k seats. We wanted to do a 60k seater so we need to spend the least to do it (that is 300m less). In 10 years time if we need a 90k seater, we'll do it then.

We have an immediate short term problem that needs sorting out next week. It is corporate seats that will make the difference and match day revenue will decrease as a proportion as tv money gets more significant whether in the EPL or CL. It's very important to have funds for players which Arsenal didn't have while they were building the Emirates. If we get out of CL again, we will move down the ladder even if we have a brand new 60k seats stadium which can be expanded to 90k seats. Don't understand what's so difficult to understand.
