When Upton Park Is Knocked Down

Post by Nick W »

Do you think they will be selling any of the seats?
Will you be interested if they go up for sale like the Wembley seats?

Q1 - Yes.
Q2 - No because I'll have already taken mine with me as soon as the final whistle has gone.

I think they will sell as much as they can.
Not sure whats worth buying though, I always wanted one of those 'Remember Ibrox' signs from the old Southbank.
Missed the boat there.

I've had thoughts after the last game, the announcement going overhead (please keep off the pitch after the final whistle, the players will do a lap of honour) Then CHARRRRRGE! Pitch invasion and people grabbing anything they can get their hands on!

Gonna be a sad but fun day!

I'm sure they will recycle as much as possible , which of course is the correct and resonsible thing for the club and the developer to do .

Clearing of sites in construction projects is expensive and one reason why the net proceeds of property sales is often far less than what people perceive .

Could buy a row of seats and stick them in the garden, I believe Terry Brown has done similar with old West Stand seats

This is modern football. It 'll roll on the deck for a bit, clutching it's MDF turrets, before being booked for simulation.
