People running football dont realise so much. A vocal, capacity away support is probably worth 10 points a season. Fucking idiots

 Manchester City's trip to Stamford Bridge will now take place on November 12 at 4:30pm rather than November 11 at 3pm to accomodate TV revenue sources

I honestly don't know why we do not make a serious play for EC. Even if we we get planning, digging down in London is a nightmare. If they find anything of historical significance, it will open a massive can of worms.

We should have gone tooth and nail for Battersy Power Station back in the day. That would have been an epic site for a stadium. On the river with the station integrated into the stadium. If only.

I understand the sentiment but if she can take her abilities which she clearly has and make something unique I believe we could have a wonderful new ground for man years to come. It would be nice to have a stadium with 80-90k max capacity to bring in additional revenue. We miss out on so much unlike the Gunners,Spurs,City,Pool and United.

Roman did go for Battersea, but lost out to a Chinese bidder. In fact he could never have won. The Chinese had deeper pockets and, more importantly, a mixed retail/housing development is always going to generate enormously more revenue than a football stadium. Not only could the Chinese bidders afford to pay more, they could also justify paying more because of the greater returns.

So-Fi Park is stunning and technologically outstanding. Anything even close to that would be fantastic new home for CFC.

Obviously we won't be looking at all of the additional things around the stadium itself, there just isn't that kind of room available in London: -
