For all the pro's and con's of it the people that G&S want to attract i.e. corporates / day-trippers / giving tickets to local school children will not really add to the atmosphere.
You say if Roma can organise something we can, which is true but people just don't have that same mentality, as well as the fact that in Italy fans can pretty much do what they want regarding flares / flags and the like. That would never be possible here for the obvious 'health and safety' reasons.
Atmosphere at the BG comes from behind the goals in the cheap seats, where there are large numbers of people standing, at the OS I'm not convinced that we will be allowed to even stand, who knows?
I'd rather not trade in what we've got at the BG and it's potential, just for the off-chance we might get bought by someone rich and do a 'Chelsea'.
At the end of the day for the fans this will be a shocking move.
With the new roof why not? if done correctly?
Well if those people add nothing to the atmosphere then there is nothing lost is there? But there is a financial gain from them being there. As I said you keep going on about atmosphere the BG is dull except a few pockets if the corporates fill the boxes, then we will gain more money in the long run.
BG and it's potential? What potential? what potentially will happen is we'll become an even smaller club in London.
You're obviously blind to this.
It has nothing to do with being bought by a rich arab. The move enhances our club globally and potential financial gains nobody here wants to become the new Chelsea.
Your arguments are fundamentally flawed and you're clinging to this atmosphere tosh when there is zero justification for it. You have zero proof that the atmosphere will be worse than it is now. That is what's truly shocking... you seem to think there is decent atmosphere there now!
BG is 1 price ticket hike away from becoming the new Library. Sad thing is we do not have any success so once our younger fans are priced even further out of the game we will fade and die. The club will be forced to hike its prices to compete with the other clubs and we will then demand cash rich owners to fund our expectations
Whilst Spurs Chelsea and Arsenal all have varied success and fill their grounds with people who have money.
Fulham did it all wrong they appealled to the day trippers then charged them £45-50! Who on earth would want to spend that to watch them?
People do not mind paying that sort of money for success and as we're not successful we should do the opposite to get people in. lower the prices fill the stand and build up our great steeped in History football club.
