    Samuel signs for Gillingham on loan

    Thought he had a serious injury and was going to be out for months? Probably better to face him now when he's not match fit.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Not singling you out but why are people stating as fact that its 12K? The Reid article says 12-15K or 20K plus if we get promoted.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    That's your answer, nothing is going to happen without their involvement. In the past, before we buggered off to Northampton, Rossborough was on CWR and said he had no issues with us groundsharing the Butts and the rugby club had a great relationship with the football club and woudl do anything...

    Are academy players youth loans? I think the difference is that they can go back and train with their parent club without it ending the loan.

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Staying in the PL would be easier than getting there as the % of revenue from matchday is far lower so if we had a smaller ground or were renting off Wasps it would be possible. Its getting there that is the hardest part. We have been told that under Wasps we will not be able to be competitive...

    Aston Villa, West Ham and Everton are all in the Deloittes Football Money League top 25 (for 2013/14) yet total matchday incomes for those team represents on 12%, 17% and 16% respectively. For the same season 82% of Swansea's revenue came from TV rights.

    Was just an example! Whole system worldwide needs looking at. FIFA were supposed to be looking at it but you wouldn't have much faith in them sorting anything out.

    Wasn't particularly singling out Chelsea, just using them as an example. The EPPP means they can scoop up players on the cheap. Then the loan them out, at a fee, with the other club paying their wages. When they come back to Chelsea their value is likley to have increased as they have played...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    I suspect archtects and planners use a more sophisticated method than copying a ground on Google Maps and pasting it into a new location. The point is the area available may well work for a 20K plus ground. There's plenty of grounds that have extremely limited parking. Personally I wouldn't...

    http://www.chelseafc.com/teams/on-loan-players.html The rules got changed a little while back so top clubs didn't have to pay as much for young players. Essentially the FL clubs were blackmailed as the PL side threatened to stop revenue sharing unless they agreed to the new system...

    Very strange news

    Seems harsh when you compare it to what you see people getting for things like rape. What is it that is actually illegal? I'm assuming there was consent so its just that it was thought to be a bloke when it was a woman. What law does that break?

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    I would have thought you start with plans for 15K and also get planning permission for an expansion to 20K. If the expansion is quick and easy to do then should it be required, thanks to promotion, prior to the initial build being completed you could just have a plan to make it part of the...

    The loan system needs looking at but its a bit annoying that after years of shit people are having a go at us. Problem isn't the teams taking players on loan, they're only doing that as they have little alternative. The problem is the teams at the top scooping up any youngster that shows any...

    Butts Park Arena is new home

    Here's a conspiracy theory for you. SISU want to sell but without a ground can't find a buyer. They also can't afford / won't pay for land or a stadium. So imagine they come up with plans for a new stadium at the Butts. Don't need to buy land, can whack in planning application pretty easily...
