Suits is ace at top ten lists.
And even better at his cutting comments. They should have a Suits Enclosure at the new gaff for intimidating the opposition as they stroll on past.
Snap him, snapper" and the such.

Agreed then. We will make Suits the twelfth man then and he can heckle away in delight at the opposing players. Should be good fun.
It would certainly be interesting to know the economics behind the move from the clubs point of view. I would think it would help their cause if they published their workings on that ahead of the vote rather than just pushing a figure out there and expecting it to be swallowed.
I think there are comparisons to be made on the commercial side. Newcastle for instance have a capacity of around the 55,000 mark and earn around £125m per season, which is a good bit more than we currently do. Of course the flip side of that is Sunderland who also have a large stadium but much lower revenue. I chose two northern teams as there is probably disparity between northern clubs and London clubs such as Spurs.
One thing I would like to see is the club pushing out into overseas markets. We've had sponsorship from Chang now for a number of years and really pushing the brand in Asia could help bring in a lot of money without hitting domestic fans yet again. I'm sure being in Europe will help with exposure in overseas markets but this is undoubtably a key area and one of the main reasons why PL clubs have become such hot targets for investors because you have 1 billion potential fans out in Asia to fight over. I've read that Man Utd have 70 million fans in China alone. Doesn't take much from each of them to get a really big contribution to the coffers.
On the stadium front, again more information regarding the potential design and facilities would be nice. 50-55,000 sounds ok to start with but room for expansion would be nice. Man Utd have over 80,000 seats remember and most of the top sides in Europe have the same.

Count on Bruce, excellent analysis mate.
I would like to set our sights a little higher than 50k, 55k should be absolute minimum.

As always Bruce a excellent assessment.
In regard to Sunderland our fan base is so much greater. So I think we would generate the revenue somewhere along what the Barcodes now enjoy.
Build it and they will come.
The new China is a crazy hotbed for Football. We need to have some Asian tours like United have been doing the past few seasons. Get those Everton shirts on.

I've had a look on the official site and there doesn't seem much there at all so whilst it's good that the club are asking the fans what we think they're not really giving much information to enable an informed decision. It's all very back of an envelope stuff, "50-55,000, around £10m per season more, attendance falling if we don't move....". It's not the best example but you can imagine them going onto Dragons Den and looking for support based on this 'evidence'. They'd get killed.
We've had some suggested stadia designs posted here and some have already responded enthusiastically. I'm sure if Wyness came to the fans with detailed plans ala Kings Dock and gave us all the information with a simple choice: yes or no, then it'd give us something much more tangible to get behind (or not). As it is they're asking us to make a huge decision almost purely on faith.

We aren't leaving the city though. We are just moving past a line drawn on a peice of paper.

Well, you aren't going to please everybody, and frankly, I think that expecting the Emirates, for free is a bit of a long shot.
And one more:
I'd be willing to go with a straight-lined stadium so long as it has some distinctive feature about it, as every stadium seems to be a clone of another these days. I don't think the Cologne stadium has that - it just looks dated.
So architects, distinctive straight lines then please!b)
I like that stadium. Paint it blue and nick it when no ones looking.

Still think the Cologne Stadium looks too plain - I think we could take it and glue some huge demonic looking blade things on it, that would be intimidating!

Read this, makes a lot of sense to me than some big mouth boasting sales man trying to sell his idea.
After reading this article, what leonbil said makes sense.

It didn't read well Wyness saying it's the deal of the century. Maybe it is, maybe it isn't, but in this era of over hype he'll have to put more meat on the bones for anyone to buy it.
Aye thought that comment might get scorned upon. Especially when theres much emotion going round.
But ten million for a new ground is nothing to get scoffed at.
No matter what they say it is going to get torn aparted and booted the arse out of it.
