Why not? palace and Wimbledon managed to play in the same league at selhurst Park.

that rumour is a non event, the EFL will follow the path of least resistance

At least an extra £1m worth of ticket sales for the remaining 11 or 12 games and the fact that we'd be playing in the City that bears our name would seem to make sense to me.

The other side of the equation - possibly risk the quality of football played, results gained and chance of promotion. Also provides financial support to wasps.

We all hate wasps right, we don't want them doing well and we don't want them here..... but to use this as an excuse not to go back to Cov is laughable

Depends how many you work with I suppose. I work in a factory so I do work with quite a lot and what theyd say to your face and behind your back would differ quite a bit.

I've seen Blues support at our games.
What their support think is irrelevant anyway, it's what their clubs hierarchy want that matters.

Generally find that our presence isn’t particularly bothering anyone.

I get the odd bit of banter that we should be thanking them when I take the piss but generally they’re alright. I get them asking how we’re doing and checking results

We’re not on Blues radar at all. When I read their forum they seem to like us and see us as a similar club

You have ignored the other reasons, and bear in mind financial support to wasps would currently include the indemnity which would finish us for good if it came in to force. Laughable. Really?

There are usually blues fans in the pubs, they don't mind at all seemingly.

All blues fans I know have been fine with us being there. In fact most of them say they hoped someone would do the same for them if they were in our situation. I think having similar problems to us at boardroom and financial levels means there is a mutual understanding of how shit the business side of football can be at times.

Where Palace and Wimbledon in the same division ? Wimbledon also shared with Charlton what was the reason they changed ?

Birmingham fans in my office are happy with us there. I think they see us as a similar club to them. They seem to be keeping an eye in our results which I guess means they care.

01/02 I’m sure we played both teams in division 1.

think they changed from selhurst Park because they were moving to MK

I’m not saying we can’t share again at St Andrews but that possibility wants sorting now and not leave us all in limbo for weeks like last year.

Wimbledon and Palace both in the top flight from 91 to 93, again 97/98. Palace and Charlton 86 to 90.

Brighton and Gillingham shared of course in the early 00s

Let’s be honest, if the club owners are happy and it means games get played it’ll happen.

The only "rumour" I know for a 100% fact is that the City Council are knocking down those houses and flats in Swan Lane and re-building Highfield Road. Just remember that you heard it here first!

I would imagine the only downside for the bluenoses would be the degradation in the pitch - more against it would be the businesses who have two road closures rather than one over two weeks ?

I think I have only seen one side of the road closures but will it affect many businesses?

The one where the buses go there's only the pub there that's open and it's rammed.
