Sons of Shankly

[plinkplonk]

I went in one of the prawn sandwich boxes at the Emirates on Saturday and whether you like it or not that level of corporate hospitality and the sheer scale of the site the Emirates is the future.

We move from Goodison or all we will have is our history.

Where were the sons of Shankly when the great man was alive.

In the mid 70's when the so called messiah was banned from Melwood he could be found, a sad, forlorn figure sitting in the reception at the Vernon Sangster Sports Centre.

Funny old game

the emirates is a nice stadium i agree.

but a whole empty tier of prawn sandwich seats until 15minutes into the second half is a joke. Hope that never happens at everton. new or old ground.

never been in an exec box, i'd like to have that experience sometime but i dont see it as a way of watching my football on a weekly basis.

the corporate money could quite easily dry up though and what happens then ?
when the football bubble bursts and the 'big boys' have fallen from their sky perch, the game will go back to the people, then the people who are prepared to pay big bucks for boxes now will not see it as the 'in thing' to do.

lets not kid ourselves that we can attract the kind of money that Arsenal do though through hospitality, they are in the capital where all the big companies are based, and i'd like to bet that a great deal of their boxes have people from these institutions that are courting business associates. in london for a meeting, so nip down to the Emirates for a bit of palm greasing
