SAFC Takeover Latest

[West_Winger]

no he didn’t. He got off pretty lightly really. When you put your neck on the line and say something like the takeover will be done this week and then it doesn’t happen you have to expect a bit of come back.

That isn’t why he won’t be posting after his ban is up.

Good shout mate, most of the stuff posted on this thread has been embarrassing, #2 decent posters have helped make sense of it all

The vast majority on here are very grateful to them

I find it bizarre that at such a special time for the club there’s a handful of numpties who seem intent on shooting the messengers who are bringing good news

Didn't know that but I would go and see NFL at the sol even tho I know nothing about it just for the experience and the cheerleaders! And hopefully beer in ya seat!

Then it could be true like and I think it would be cool for the area!

Bigger crowds at college games - would be just as good to see Georgia Bulldogs vs. Florida Seminoles played at the SOL

Be a decent moneyspinner given the ticket prices they can charge

Concourses would need quite a lot of upgrading. Prices compare pretty well to England games at Wembley.

Have you heard anything about a dof coming in mate?

Just that they want their own man

 

[West_Winger]

Well that’s not a good sign. What they’re giving money to that f***ing failure for is beyond me.

They’ll sharp learn.

We have a chance to be an example of a modern, forward thinking club. When they see that £500k basically pays for Coton and his mates to sign utter shite, they won’t let it slide.

Their "own" man. American business man. MLS?


Uh, no thanks.

Meaning a better manager than the plank we currently have

They have played NFL games at Wembley and are planning to play them at Spurs Ground

There are two games at Spurs Ground in about a months time plus Wembley ones. Cracking days out

I’ve just seen the LA rams and paid just over £100 for a ticket in the gods. 2-3 times what football charges for a top game. And beer was £15 per can in my seat

how about MON as DOF and KEANO as manager

Or a removable pitch can be installed. This would open up more options for the stadium without damaging the pitch!

We played the Dutch team, Vitesse Arnhem, in a ore season friendly, some years ago, and they had a mechanically retractable pitch, which is taken from inside the ground, and left outside the ground, for a few hours each day, to let it get some natural sunlight, because there's not enough sunlight that gets into their ground.
Ingenious idea tbf.

There’s something in that tbh. Football fans (including myself) outside of the select few have so little tangible to get excited about. Even with this lot in place I’d be surprised if we really recapture the Bank of England Club days. What tends to excite fans these days is potential. The thought of what might be before reality pours a cold bucket of water on you. That’s why transfers are the new trophies and deadline day is Christmas. It’s pure, unspoiled potential. And for Safc fans, this takeover is a dream where the potential is seemingly limitless. I’d honestly advise we all enjoy it while we can.

It's not the BoE days I was thinking of as they won fuck all (1950's) but the late 1800' s and through to the 2nd World War when we were a massive draw - check the number of clubs whose record crowds were against us. Just to get back there would ..... Honest marra it's all that us older lads have been waiting for all our lives.

That partnership worked well recently....
Different roles wouldn't change anything.

I have 2 tickets for both Wembley games, Club Wembley seats about £120 each, beer last year about £5 a pint, food reasonable as well

Look I've followed the MLS longer than the football in England, but I don't think there's a coach in the MLS that could be successful in England. Not right now.

Might have to look into this next

I know what you mean ,I’ve often been called a racist Homophobic idiot who’s stuck in the 1950’s .

Really cuts deep when people say that like .

Puff

 

[Abu Dhabi Red and White]

He’s stated via grumpy old man he probably won’t be posting anymore.

The ones who really won't post again will probably just stop. We've had many who threaten to flounce off - Carty used to do it twice a week.

Games are ridiculously expensive. I go to many of the LAFC games here locally but it does cost a pretty penny.
