Are you paying cash for your new stadium?

Not sure there’s a big enough briefcase to pay it in cash buddy

You're kidding yourselves if you think you fill Old Trafford every game.

I work with OT ST holders who are honest enough to tell the truth.

These two comments are not mutually exclusive, Binky. United fans are understandably very prone to telling you that you're a prat.

What's your point? There is a loan to pay for it like a mortgage, while you are paying rent for yours.

Seems you're not, the stadium will actually belong to the banks for the forseeable future.

No, it was a conservative estimate made by people I know who went.

Why place yourself in debt for something that will never have any resale value?

Maybe because it will be a constant source of income for years to come, especially when its all paid for.

Stadia have a shelf life of about 40/50 years, it will never go up in value.

Boris did you forget we are talking about London?

posted on 12/10/17

What's that got to do with it?

posted on 12/10/17

Property and land always go up in value in London

Keep your sexual preferences out of this, Boris.

The land will go up in value but there isn't really a market for pre-owned football stadiums even in London.

I've noticed that certain clubs (West Ham, Arsenal and City spring to mind) will give their attendance as a capacity when you can clearly see plenty of empty seats. The excuse thats always given is that the tickets are sold and of course the Prem aren't going to change anything as they want to give the impression that the product is putting as many bums on seats as possible.

It would be good if clubs were forced to admit how many people are actually in the stadium but that isn't going to happen.

I'm not sure what your saying is correct about a stadium life span. Most clubs have been on there current land for one hundred or more years.
