LCFC Chairman on Ground Sharing

[Boy Genius]

Top question Feriol. You should start an independant thread on that and open it up to us all

Great question

creep.............:icon_razz

We have lasted long enough without ground sharing and done very well thank you. Here is to another 120 years.....

Warning: Clubs can go down as well as up. Past performance is no guide to the future. :icon_bigg

I know for emotional reasons some don't like it

I don't like it because it's a short term solution to a long term problem.

any solution is better than no solution

 

[bocadillo]

any solution is better than no solution

Only if sharing the ground solves something/everything can it be called a solution - and there's no guarantee of that.

The only time I would choose to have a heart transplant is if I was 100% going to die. If medication solved the problem, and in the long term, improved my health, then I would always opt for that

Always look on the black side of life, as do a lot of city fans.... please show me the proof where success will flow once we groundshare? Its all talk. We have lasted long enough without ground sharing and done very well thank you. Here is to another 120 years.....

Over the majority of the last 120 years football was a true sport and as such a wide variety of clubs had their fair share of success, us included, football however is now a business and as such is far more dependent upon money than ever before.

Groundshare is simply an option to generate more cash for the football club (£8m?) and provide us with a better platform from which to compete. If anyone knows of somewhere else we can get this sort of investment then great, but this looks the ONLY option to me.

 

[1966]

It depends how you want to measure success. Many see the sharing of the ground as the ultimate failure.

Success is measured on a Sunday morning in the results and tables section.

 

[lazzer]

like somebody said earlier its pointless as it wont happen and with both camps saying it could make us /break us without considering the other point of view its a futile debate .

£8 is a paltry sum, to give away half your stadium.

FFS the ground took £32m to build, we paid the thick end of £16m, so in effect you would give tigers a half share for a 1/4 of what it cost to build. They had to buy the land and decontaminate it which cost £7m.
Also I would like to know who will build a stadium our size these days for £16m
Nah feck 'em, and it aint gonna happen anyway.

[Melton Fox]

No, but it's our home

 

[Leesoh]

It's not ours

Neither's my house technically, but I don't say it belongs to the Nationwide.

 

[OldGit]

I have always been fully against ground sharing and nothing I have read will change my mind. As I have stated on here before, I doubt very much if it will ever happen, and that if it ever did ( god forbid ) it would become "The Walkers Stadium, home to the Tigers and also to lcfc "


I say feck 'em.....:icon_evil

So do I, piss off egg chasing tossers.:icon_evil
