It's £6 for a pint of IPA in the Vere that's keeping the crowds down I'm telling ya.......

Everton's new ground has been built over existing water. I'm sure in this day an age a suitable flood plan could be put in place to encorporate the Prodigy Stadium.

Football for the Stilted Generation...

So he was fair game for threats, was he?

Wheels would be better?

The current footprint of Adams Park will fit in the Frogmoor area/Chilterns Centre and part of Castle Street. Albeit I realise this would mean three roads potentially being closed off and a huge amount of buildings demolished. Economically may not be viable but there are some grounds in the world on top of shopping centers or that have roads running under them, so not impossible.

The footprint also only takes up about one third of the current Rye. I'd build it there, as close to this end of Town as possible.

Ironically it's very much like football, in that you choose a side and support it no matter what.

This may need to move to Not Football.

whilst simultaneously failing to criticise the 40 year military occupation of Palestine I presume?

We have a large Asian population, some of whom have been promoting a boycott of the club on social media for the last couple of years due to JJ’s comments around the Israel-Palestine conflict.

Ridiculous in my view but can’t be helping.

Regarding a town centre stadium, I personally think the only place it could have been would have been the old broomwade site that stretched from Morrisons all the way to Hughenden Park. You may well have just about been able to squeeze a stadium and infrastructure for parking or excellent public transport links there and the train station and bus station being walking distance (or indeed bus station based at that site instead of where it was relocated when Eden was built).

But seeing as they stuck students and Old folks as neighbours (which I always thought was an interesting mixture) and a housing estate, that idea has long gone. And what was actually built was probably vastly more profitable for the council.
