We don't have a well supported successful team!

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.

Going along better today. 140-1 off 26 overs. Need to start upping the run rate now.

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...

And how are we going to finance getting to the PL?

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...

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...

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?

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...

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...

Look at this seasons championship averages: Derby 29,166 Brighton 23,921 Leeds 22,703 Middlesbrough 22,429 Sheff Wed 21,267 Forest 20,110 Wolves 20,010 There isn't another team over 19K.

Just to give an idea of what may or may not be possible: The Den has a 20,146 capacity. 20,520 capacity at the Liberty Stadium.

Give him a go, no one else seems capable of scoring one!

Already got one, it's only half a mile from the main station so it'd be better than the Ricoh :p

To be honest I don't think that really comes into it. A massive new Tesco has opened today in what used to be the car park at Fratton Park (they are now landlocked with no car park and no room for expansion). The land it was on was restricted use to prevent it being used for anything other than...

I had a look at Millwalls ground to compare. it wouldn't be too difficult to fit something like that in.
