England is a very interesting country. Tea with milk, flat beers, fans prefer to have a pie than support their teams.
But I wouldn't change it. (maybe some more fan engagement would be nice!)
Yeah, because it's a squad game - just because you play Tim rather than Luiz against say Derby County doesn't mean it's not taken seriously.
You can't play the same 11, and even if you could, it's not a good idea.
I mean, sure. I don't disagree.
But there are levels to it. One person might feel watching Barca and PSG play is supporting the slow death of football. Others might say me typing it on a phone built in china is a crime against humanity.
I just watch the show of football; the players are not to blame. I don't get emotionally attached to it. I could watch CL football or put Netflix on. I like live sport and this is some good football.
That's as far as most people, including me, go.
Honest question with no sarcasm intended.
Considering the expansion of Birmingham and its growth over the last 200 years, isn't it likely that Solihull becomes Birmingham within the next few decades?
Jesus, are we building an airport?!
All that is needed is the houses behind Witton. With that, we could build a 100k seater.
We don't have to, and we won't, but that is enough space for expansion, hotels, bars, and whatever else they might desire.
To be fair I said it like 3 months ago.
Other than crazy pundits doing the media thing I didn't think anyone would seriously take Arsenal as possible champions.
Naaah.
Trinity is good - hospitality is there, and concourses could be easily improved over the summer.
Same for Holte. It's a big stand with lots of space.
North stand needs changing asap.
And it's logistically (with the help of the council) easy enough to plan for Witton.
We have space, we have 2 solid stands, VP could be made into a 55/60k premium seater. But it seems that's not the plan for now.
